i. What approach would you use with your team to make a simple decision?
ii. What approach would you suggest your team use to make more complex decisions that could impact project success?
iii. Discuss the extra challenges associated with group decision-making and problem-solving for a totally virtual team.
II. Realities such as power, personal preferences, and negative politics can be used by group members to derail the effectiveness of a group's problem-solving meeting. Explain the role for one of the following in mitigating these problem-solving realities:
