Question

You are working in a team of five (5) with elements of poor teamwork. In your team, members do not always commit to attending meetings together. There are many challenges in the team. A team member is difficult, not responsive to emails, and prefers to work alone, unable to understand the importance of learning to work in a team. Even though the team member does not understand what is asked of her, she did not raise ask for clarification from the team. Some of the team members do not even bother to show up even though it is an important project to be delivered. Only two of the team members are actively working. Because of this poor teamwork, the deliverable of the team member's output is very poor with the team, in the end, not learning anything much from the project.

Describe from an analytical point, what could be the reason for this team to perform so poorly, and what type of leadership would have helped this team to be a functional team?
