AceComm is a consulting firm that conducts organizational communication audits. Currently, a team of five individuals is conducting a complicated audit for a locally owned tire and rim shop with six different locations.

Theo, the team leader on this project, has recently been promoted. This is Theo's first assignment as lead auditor. The other team members are Jody, a recent college graduate; Lindsay, a more senior member of the organization who has cut back to part$-$time hours; Milan, an executive assistant; and Noel, who moved into Theo's position after he was promoted.

The project began well. However, to Theo's dismay, things are not progressing smoothly. Although Theo has provided clear instructions, several team members have misplaced data and are unsure of their responsibilities and deadlines. At the last meeting, Theo observed the following behavior: Lindsay controlled the floor and felt the need to share all her years of knowledge; Jody was not prepared for the third meeting in a row; Milan quietly prepared team documents; and Noel was busy asking everyone about weekend plans.
