Sample Solution

Firstly, I will have an online meeting with my teammates. The first problem we will face is that 6 experts in the team are geographically dispersed which means I can not require them to be in a same place at the same time to have a meeting to discuss about our project. It is not good to only use writing or e-mail to discuss about our task because it lacks of feedback. So online meeting is an alternative way that can make them get to know each other face-to-face so that they can get feedback rapidly. Interpersonal communication has three ways: oral communication, writing communication and nonverbal communication. (Stephen P. Robbins, 2005) Oral communication is a good and fast way to communicate with each other and every member can get the feedback rapidly.

Cohesion is the soul of a team. It is very necessary to train the members of team to make them realize that how important it is. The experts are all the figures of authority, they must be very proud. This will must bring the barriers and bad influence during the team work. Therefore my job is to break the barriers and get them together. I will give them a little task they can not finish it unless they do it together. If they achievement the goal, they will figure out the important of the cohesion, if not, their prides would be broke. They are intell
