Individualism & Collectivism Teamwork In The Workplace

Review the Learning Resources and think about how group think, individualism, and collectivism impact your daily life as well as your professional work.
Consider the following: Imagine you are on a team at work and have a deadline quickly approaching. The project is critical to your employer’s success. Your eight-person team is composed of diverse workers. There’s a range in age, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, and experience level, among other distinctions. Your team’s progress has encountered some challenges. Some team members are managing home and work life duties, and other team members are having difficulty working together across their differences.
