Developing effective teams Sophia milestone ;strayer Which of the following would NOT be a side effect of unclear roles and responsibilities?  Tom explains to his manager that Irene has been starting to take on aspects of Tom's role in meetings, leading the discussion on topics that Tom feels are his responsibility.  Jenna avoids performing an analysis of the data as she prepares the pivot table, since she knows that Enrique will be performing a thorough analysis of the data when he receives it.  Nina and Leticia prepare for a presentation and realize that neither of them brought the materials for the demo, since they both thought the other person would do so.  Dwayne completes a lengthy report for a potential client, and Clint stayed up all night creating a nearly identical report for the same client. RATIONALE "Jenna avoids performing an analysis of the data as she prepares the pivot table, since she knows that Enrique will be performing a thorough analysis of the data when he receives it" is correct, as it does not demonstrate a side effect of unclear roles and responsibilities. Because roles are clearly defined, Jenna knows not to analyze the data, as that is part of Enrique's role. The other answer choices represent possible side effects of unclear roles and responsibilities. When roles and responsibilities are poorly defined, the team risks duplication of effort, unfinished work, and arguments over territory. CONCEPT Clarifying Roles and Responsibilities 2 Cynthia has gotten her team up and running. Team members are now working cohesively to drive the project forward to completion. Cynthia's team is currently in which phase of team development?  Adjourning  Storming  Performing  Norming RATIONALE Cynthia's team is currently in the performing stage because that is the stage of team development in which the team is functioning at a high level, with all members working toward the same goal. The other answer choices are incorrect. Norming is the stage in which the team starts to gain momentum as a cohesive unit; storming is the stage in which there may be some resistance from and competition among team members; adjourning is the stage in which the team disperses after the project is complete.
