Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Josh is interested in forming a vertical team, he should divide the group into smaller teams to allow for better communication and decision-making. Four teams of seven employees each would be a good option. This would provide enough members for a team to work together effectively while still allowing for individual contributions. Option A is not necessary as 28 employees can be divided into teams. Option B is not recommended as large teams can be difficult to manage and individuals may feel lost in the group. Option D suggests to not worry about teams, which goes against Josh's interest in forming a work team. Option E is not a proactive choice for a manager.
