1. Using the information provided in the SolarComm Communication and Collaboration Team Biographies case study, identify two or more employees on the team who may not get along, and explain why. (1â€“2 paragraphs)

Your Response
Sean and Aardash could be among the two employees who may not necessarily get along with each other. Sean is a technocrat and can be construed to be a team player and has strong oral skills while his skills in written communication are a bit subdued. He is a more of a field level person who goes by the happenings at a field level and works with his team with whom he is supposedly well knit. With his penchant for making conversations with specialty topics such as math, science and functional design he may not be happy communicating with people on other subjects thereby creating an image of introvert about him(Daft, 2008).
On the contrary Aardash is more of a one man show kind of a person who usurps the authority of the field level people giving him an image of an extrovert who mingles well within his client and business prospects. Though he too possesses a analytical frame of mind, he uses it more to strike business conversations and get mileage out of it by trying to convert it into an opportunity for getting business for him. As an extrovert personality he may not be able to strike up a communication channel with a person of the temperament of Sean.

2. Describe two strategies to ensure the team members identified in prompt #1 work effectively together.

Your Response
Sean and Aardash do not have any form of opportunity to mingle and interact with each other. A platform needs to be created they would be together where in their common traits such as their technical skills, analytical skills etc can be subject matter of discussion which will give them an opportunity for spending time together their creating an opportunity to know each other(Gratton, 2010).
Another strategy that can be worked is to put them jointly on a singular mission such as for example in a new product development or new component development where they would get to use their skills while interacting with each other. This apart from creating an opportunity for interaction creates a situation where both can use their skills for a common benefit. The technical skills of Sean would certainly compliment the number of years of experience of Aardash thereby making them a good combo as well.
