Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario describes a team of 11 employees from a specific division (accounts receivable) who are given the responsibility of their former supervisor and are expected to schedule their own work and evaluate each other's performance. This team does not have members from multiple departments (cross-functional), is not working remotely (virtual), and it is not specified that they are tasked with solving a specific problem (problem-solving). Therefore, the best choice is C) self-managed, as they are responsible for managing themselves without direct supervision.
