Question

Moose Tech, a software start-up, is putting together a new team to work on the marketing strategies for their expansion project. In the context of using the "Big Five" personality traits for effective team building, which employees would be good additions to a team that encourages a strong and harmonious culture and is most likely to give the best results?
A. Jamie is very organized; Stella is very cooperative.
B. Mary is not achievement-oriented; Issac is laid-back.

Answer 1

Answer: Jamie, Stella and Isaac

Explanation:

For a team with a strong, harmonious culture, which is likely to give the best results, Jamie, Stella and Isaac are a good combination.

Jamie is organized and this is a good thing - someone needs to keep track of deadlines and organize the team. Stella is cooperative and this will strengthen the harmonious culture of the team. Isaac is laid-back and this is a good thing too, as long as he delivers the expected results.

However, Mary not being achievement-oriented is not something to be desired in a team which should give the best results, because she would fall behind and she would drag the team down. She would also be prone to missing deadlines.
