Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to display the team efforts of using the six-step approach to problem solving. The members of the team have reviewed a case study on Arctic Mining Consultant’s which describes a project manager’s dilemma to complete a project, but he runs into many obstacles trying to do so. The methodology of the team is to use various research literature to support the findings of poor management and leadership skills, lack of motivation and inadequate planning. In this environment, an organization depends more than ever on its ability to create and manage teams that can leverage all of its leadership capabilities and creativity—and in the process make the entire organization more agile, more responsive, and more innovative. Unfortunately, all too many teams fail to achieve their objectives. There can be many reasons for this failure, not all of them within the control of the organization or the team, but we believe that the problem often lies in our whole conception of what makes teams effective.
