1. What does it mean to say that leaders serve as "communication champions" and "sense-givers"? How do you think this differs from conventional management communication? How might leaders use social media to champion ideas and develope a sense of community among employees? What do you think are some advantages and disadvantages of a company using social media to communicate with employees?
2. The chapter suggests that very small teams (three to six members) perform better, and most people prefer to work in small teams. However, many companies use teams of 100 or more people to perform complex tasks, such as creating and developing a new product. Do you think a unit of that size can truly function as a team, and why? What challenges do large teams often face that small teams generally do not face? What evidence-based strategies discussed in the chapter can leaders use to develop and manage large teams?
