Assignment:

Capital Energy is a new company in the Clean Energy sector. In an effort to save money, they are considering switching to a cheaper battery. The battery company, Tilt Battery, has 10 years in the industry and would represent a 20 percent savings.

Tom, the VP of Public Relations at Capital Energy, says his intern has heard rumors about Tilt Battery dumping toxic elements into the environment. Tom, 50, has 20 years of experience in energy. His communication style is direct.

Before deciding if the company will switch to Tilt Battery, Kim, the CEO, has ordered a team to be assembled to research the allegations and fit of Tilt Battery with Capital Energy. Kim, 60, has 5 years of CEO experience and 10 years in leadership roles. She is a master delegator and expects results without excuses. Kim has demanded Tom lead the team since he mentioned the problem. He will need to bring facts and recommendations to the next senior leadership meeting in three weeks. All team members require Kim's approval to be considered for the team.

Tom has assembled Joe, Lisa, Marie, and Karl to help in this endeavor. Below is some background on each person.

Marie, 40, is the VP of Legal and Compliance with 3 years at Capital Energy and has a passive communication style. She is a supporter of peers but does not like teams.
Joe, 31, is an Intern at Capital Energy. He suspects Tilt Battery of unethical behavior based on rumors. Joe is a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Environmental Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Solar Engineering. His communications style is direct, and he has many ideas.
Lisa, 29, is a new staff employee at Capital Energy with prior experience at a battery factory for 4 years. She has strong opinions about most topics and does not work well with others. She can be passive or direct in her communication, but English is her second language. Lisa's culture dictates that she should agree with leaders.
Karl, 55, has been the Manager of Security and Investigations at Capital Energy for 8 years. He is an early employee at Capital Energy who understands the company, culture, and vision. He works well in teams and loves to be of service to others. Karl is liked by everyone, and his communication style can be passive or direct.

Question: If Kim took a vote to decide who should be on the team and made everyone part of the decision, what leadership style would she have, what are the benefits of this style on team psychology, and how might this style impact the team in managing conflict? Also explain who has ownership of tasks, and how conflict is recognized.
