Describe what concerns the team should have regarding it's lack of diversity in Temperament Types.
What might the team miss without a larger diversity? Identify 3 major concerns and justify your
answers.
The second major concern is the lack of a clear vision and set of goals and objectives for the system that
incorporates all of the users needs. Guardians need a knowledge of the goal and the steps to get there
and Artesians are known to be risky and want the freedom to do things their way. These two
combinations could be deadly as the Artisans establish “their vision” of what is needed and the
Guardians follow that direction, without question since they also avoid conflict. As a result, the system
features and functions may be what the Artesians decided is needed versus what the company actually
needs.
The third major concern is that the team may not be a cohesive team, since the Artesians can be blunt
and the Guardians tend to ignore interpersonal needs, they may never gel and develop a creative and
powerful team that strives to solve problems and identify opportunities to make things better. A
constructive dialoge may be difficult to have with these types of people and no one else to encourage
team interaction such as an Idealist who enjoys the people orientation of groups.

pulling of other team members and does not share his skills and experience with other team members, therefore, the other
team members are unable to get advantage and learn from his skills and expertise.
Vague roles:
Eric has not appropriately assigned the respective roles to the team members, which has created role ambiguity among the
team members. This has further enhanced the level of frustration among the team members and has subsequently reduced
the overall efficiency of work performed by team members.
