"How to Form and Manage Teams" Please respond to the following:
- Watch the video from Karl McDonnell, CEO of Strayer University, titled “What behaviors do you look for when building your teams?” Discuss what you believe are the most critical things to consider when forming a team. Describe how this may or may not be different from what you thought prior to your readings and watching this video. Give an example of a time when you were on a team that was either well-formed or poorly-formed and give two to three (2-3) reasons as to why you feel this way.
When forming a team consider the following, tolerance, track record, and curiosity. This is same to what I thought, tolerant people are curios, hence offering their best in a team. I was once in a disorganized team, which achieved nothing, due to intolerance, making everybody to give up.
