Hi everyone,
I have a dysfunctional team and I'd like some advice. We just finished our
first application exercise of the semester. Four out of five team members
approached me after class to talk about one of their team members. They
are frustrated because this team member immediately dismisses everything
they say. He went ahead and reported during the application exercise with
the answer he wanted rather than what the rest of the team came to
consensus on. After that he stopped contributing completely and remained
silent for the rest of class with his head on the desk (the other team
members must have ostracized him). Apparently his behavior is already
extreme and this is the third week of class. I'd like to intervene
immediately and create a positive experience for everyone involved and
make sure all students are respecting the contributions of others. Any
suggestions?
Best,
Katie
