They have been working together for over a month now and they just haven’t really cometogether as a team. She was sure she started off well. She contacted each individual on the teamand let them know their responsibilities on the project. Each of the members gets the taskscompleted, but don’t seem concerned with the others on the team. If someone needs help, no onepitches in to assist. If a team member has a problem, no one helps him to solve that problem. Justyesterday one of the team members had an emergency and asked if someone on the team couldhave a call with the sales team so she could leave early. No one offered to help so Martha jumped in to assist. Martha had to do something. This was a bad experience for everyone frankly and somefolks already were talking about getting off the project. Plus she felt the event won’t be as good asit could if they just came together…arrow_forward
