SUBJECT: Departmental Expansion
The purpose of this memo is to address the company’s recent departmental additions to enter a new market. The goal is to effectively and efficiently accomplish the goals that have been set by the executive level management of the company. This will be carried out by successfully managing the team and establishing team work, unity and cohesion amongst the group.
The team I am charged to lead consist of three people, Lamar Coleman, Katrina Self and myself. This is somewhat smaller than most teams, which could have its advantages and disadvantages. It’s important to address the personality make up of the team in order to understand how this will come together. Everyone in the company, upon employment is required to take the Jungian 16 type personality test. Management uses this as part of its evaluation of all employees for future assignments and placements. Comparing the results of our test, we share a lot of similarities, while at the same time, remain very diverse individuals. Based on this information, it’s probably best to go with a mix between democratic and laissez-faire approach. This would best suit our individual talents and our personalities. Our similarities might allow for easier agreement on some topics and problems. Each one of us works very well and probably betters individually, but still have a firm grasp of team dynamic and know how to be a part of a whole. Lamar is very level headed and looks for the common sense in things. This is a great trait for not getting distracted with non-sense that comes with some ideas. His common sense approach can help weed out the garbage. He is cool under pressure and always keeps a level head. he doesn’t like to rush to make a decision but rather take a look at all the facts and options and then sit back and take his time making a decision. This is great unless we are up against a timeline. Katrina is a skeptic and her first impulse
