Provide an outline for how to prevent social loafing. * Please explain each principle in regards to how it may be applied to the team. Part B: Next, assume that, in this organization, you are a team leader in charge of a new product development project. Three others are on the team: Sam, Pat, and George. Although all three team members attend most team meetings and contribute during these sessions, Pat has missed several deadlines and is holding the team back. He has good ideas and you want to keep him on the team; however, he sometimes is late to scheduled meetings and often seems distracted during these meetings. Describe, in detail, how you will manage the situation, both with Pat as well as with the other team members. Be sure to indicate the communication channel (and whether or not you are approaching the situation/s individually or in a group), the type and amount of information included, and the positioning of the information, including whether you will use a direct or an indirect strategy, for each audience. Provide a brief outline of what would be covered in what order and/or provide a script for how you would approach each audience. communication channels: face-to-face conversation videoconferencing telephone conversation e-mails handheld devices blogs written letters and memos formal written documents spreadsheets .
