Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-directed work teams share leadership responsibilities among all team members, rather than having a formal supervisor who makes all decisions. This is a key aspect of the SDWT approach, and empowers team members to take ownership of their own work and collaborate effectively. The other answer choices are incorrect: SDWTs are designed to empower members (B is false), they are formal groups with defined goals and responsibilities (E is false), and they may have some degree of decision-making authority when it comes to personnel decisions (D is false).
