Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A self-directed team makes all decisions internally about leadership and how the work is done, and has the potential for high autonomy. This means they are self-managing and do not have a leader residing outside the team. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A is incorrect as it mentions that the team still has a leader, while self-directed teams do not have a leader. Option B is incorrect as it contradicts the meaning of "self-directed" by implying that the team has a leader residing outside the team. Option C is partially correct in saying that the team has a leader residing outside, but it contradicts the potential for low autonomy, which is not characteristic of self-directed teams.
