Answer to Question 1

Teams have different needs, and members should be selected to ensure all the various roles are filled. Teams with more experienced and skilled members perform better. However, the experience and skill of those in core roles who handle more of the workflow of the team and who are central to all work processes are especially vital. Nine potential team roles have been identified, and successful work teams have selected people to play all these roles based on their skills and preferences. To increase the likelihood the team members will work well together, managers need to understand the individual strengths each person can bring to a team, select members with their strengths in mind, and allocate work assignments that fit with members' preferred styles.
