- 6. SOLUTIONS TO CHOOSING TEAM MEMBERS Team Members • Middle management to lower employees • Different departments within the organization Team Members • Strengths – Some members have strong personalities, work ethics, & capabilities • Weaknesses – May not be strong in every aspect of project. Pair with stronger team member Team Members • Chosen based on hierarchy within organization • Has proven ability to find solutions
- 7. OPPOSING VIEW If there are more employees from middle management they could come up with solutions that would be suitable for what upper management may want in the project. Middle management would know how to better deal with the lack of resources and have access to other areas. Choosing other employees who work on the floor may have solutions for problems they deal with daily. They are better suited for the project team because they can teach other employees they work with.
