Teams are essential in any job, and sometimes it may not go the way people in the group want to. According to the textbook, "team cohesiveness is defined as the extent to which members are attracted to the team and motivated to remain in it (Daft, 2017, pg 303)." For efficient members in the group should be highly motivated to stay because then the group relationship can get stronger. One factor that are can affect this team's cohesiveness is groupthink. Groupthink is defined as the "tendency when people in cohesive groups to suppress contrary opinions (Daft, 2017, pg 305)." For example, Brad Fitzgerald the creative director had one final slide which landed the deal with the client because the entire presentation was going downside until the last slide. However, according to Tyle Green, a brand strategist, no one knew there was a final slide (Daft, 2018, pg 321). The group only knew he was working on a tag for the last slide, and it was discussed with the group (Daft, 2018, pg 321). The group should know what is being presented because if any surprises come up, it can throw the entire team cohesiveness, which can irritate folks in the group. Another factor that affects team cohesiveness is relationship conflict. According to the textbook, relationship conflict is defined as "personal incompatibility that creates human tension and feelings of personal animosity among people (Daft, 2018, pg 312). " In a group having relationship conflict can affect the task at hand and stress to finish the upcoming jobs. In this team, there was a conflict between Brad Fitzgerald and Trish Rodrieck; Trish only realized a certain tension between her and Brad and which is never good in a group. This team had many issues even though the objective of the group was completed but there was poor team cohesiveness.
