Teamwork
How would you expect your small team of three to interact across Meyer’s behavioral scales
and how would you expect team members might adjust behaviors to build rapport and to make progress
toward the team goal? What do you expect would be shared preferences that would facilitate your good
working relationships? What do you expect would be possible areas of misunderstanding or conflict? How do
you imagine solutions to help the team overcome possible tension and achieve success?
Begin with a brief introduction of your hypothetical team and its mission or goal. In order to use realistic
situations for your analysis, be sure you understand the goal (e.g., don’t imagine a software development team if
you don’t know how one would function). Be sure to cover 4 scales for full credit (e.g., pick four from the
following: communicating, evaluating, persuading, leading, deciding, trusting, disagreeing, and scheduling).
