Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. All team members should be empowered to exercise leadership and control.
2. While all teams require specific boundaries and responsibilities, the self-directed team differs in that the team, rather than an outside entity, develops these concepts.
3. Self-directed work teams should include development of performance evaluation tools useful for the team and there should be team-wide implementation of this evaluation. Management centered evaluation violates this principle.
4. All members will require skills in management, communication techniques, and interpersonal relations.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Managers need to be honest and forthcoming with staff, which includes taking responsibility for one's own actions and errors. This also provides a positive role model for the staff.
2. When errors occur, the manager should use the opportunity for improvement, not punishment.
3. When staff feel some staff are given extra credit, they will feel uncomfortable with the manager and resentment will build.
4. Staff need to feel that they can share their feedback, positive or negative, and not feel threatened when they disagree with the manager.
