Which of the following statements is CORRECT in relation to team effectiveness?
A)The existence of conflict does not always reduce team effectiveness
B)For teams to be effect ve it is necessary to have regular, face-to-face meetings
C)A pre-requisite of an effective team is for the leader to be consultative at all times
D)Absenteeism is a cause and not an effect of ineffective teams
For me option C Can you help me to find the correect answer and understand fullyI’m not convinced that any of them is correct:
A Constructive conflict can be good [always suspect an offered answer that has to use the words ‘always’ or ‘never’, ‘all’ or ‘none’]
B I think that Covid and Zoom proves this wrong. Occasional face-to-face contact might help from time to time but I’m not convinced they are necessary. The question might have been written pre-Covid.
C Consulation is usually good but occasionally, eg to hit a deadline, the leader has to lay down the law. [NB the use of ‘all’]
D Obviously absenteeism will cause a team to be ineffective but why are people absent. Perhaps they recognise that the team and its meeting are a waste of everyone’s time because they are ineffective for other reasons.
