Question
It is two weeks after the confrontation. The agreed solutions have been implemented and it's time to evaluate their effectiveness. You speak to the team members individually to obtain feedback about progress. Team member 1 I guess I didn't understand why he did those things and interpreted his actions all wrong. If that's what things were like in his country, I can understand that he'd be afraid of losing his job. We've all been showing him how to do things properly. He's getting better already. I guess he's not so bad after all. Team member 2 I've learnt how to do some new things and how to do others better or faster. And the comments have stopped, so I'm a lot happier. I think maybe everyone will start to accept me as part of the team now. Write a verbal response outlining what feedback, comments or information you would pass on to each of the team members after receiving these comments? Provide at least two responses.
