Your Response

Self-Management team
I assume that this will increase job satisfaction and value may increase.
I eventually include additional viewpoints, perspectives, and ideas as each member assumes their
position with a deeper sense of ownership and engagement. It is significantly simpler to adopt innovative
new ideas since self-management promotes greater agility rather than smothering them beneath approval
requirements. Self-management can therefore lead to more original issue-solving, a diversity of ideas, and
improved responsiveness.

Question

Creating an environment for input and collaboration is Ryan’s go-to strategy. What will Ryan need to
consider as he creates ABIDE—Acceptance, Belonging, Inclusion, Diversity, Equity—to implement these
goals at City?

Your Response

Firstly he should think about ABIDE's role regarding students and staff members and parents. Ryan is
supposed to define the role and clear responsibilities of each member. In school, there are full-time
teachers so he should divide time and obligations correctly to avoid any conflict situations. It is important to
create a clear timetable with space for meetings.

Your Response

Giving group members ownership only entails empowering them to take charge of their actions and
holding them responsible for the results of those actions.
For team members to understand their work responsibilities, interaction is important. Also, any
communication problems might cause several misunderstandings inside a team, which unquestionably
affects the team's total productivity.
The level of friendship among the team members has a significant impact on the team's productivity. The
