"Distributed Leadership" should be utilized so that initiative and leadership does not fall on just one person. All too often, I have experienced team members simply not communicating or helping because "that's not their job" and letting others in the group sink or swim. Instead, everyone should take responsibility and lead when members are lagging. Encourage those in need and offer ways you can assist so that they can do their part. 1-p.20

"Public Declaration of Results"
Article 5 suggests each group member publicly commit to specified results and deadlines to mitigate this.

Aside from this project, if the team has to work together on projects in the future they may harbor negative feelings towards their peers. Failure to identify said issues can also affect future success and relationships within the program.

To set themselves up for success, the team should set weekly meetings on the desired communication platform they are all familiar with. Since Lou cannot keep up with emails, perhaps a video chat at a time that takes into account the time zone change would be best.

Failure to identify such issues can create stress and frustration among team as deadlines are not met, which can also negatively impact the quality of final deliverable.

(Article 3, pg 1) At team kickoff, engage in brainstorming, asking "What if? What else? questions to identity potential issues. At this kickoff, ask questions to ensure students don't have any issues affecting their ability to complete task. Confirm there are no time zone differences, or connectivity issues,  that could affect task completion.  Ensure open team communication so students are accepting tasks they feel capable of completing and match their knowledge/capability.

Develop a shared team identity and shared team goal. If people have individual goals, encourage them to share them with the group so that the group members can gain a sense of satisfaction out of helping every team member achieve individual goals, too. People often like to help other people succeed.

According to source 6, "Inattention to results may occur when team members are not held accountable for their contributions, because they are likely to focus their attention on individual needs." Sounds like a lot of focus on individual needs rather than group needs.

The team leader needs to foster a positive working environment.  In small groups the team leader may need to help fill  in gaps wile also serving as the Project Manager.

Poor leadership displayed by the team leader Lou. Instead of offering support and solutions, Lou only offers a warning that the team may not meet scheduled deadlines.

The scenario only mentioned scheduled weekly meetings. These weekly meetings are necessary, bu daily or at least midweek dialogue is critical to ensure all team members are completing tasks. I would compare this to daily scrums within a sprint.

Students are equipped to acknowledge that they may be struggling, brainstorm solutions, and reach out to their instructors as needed:  "The group should be interrupted to acknowledge the problem as well as brainstorm potential solutions." (Article 4, page 5)

The group may miss deadlines and feedback surveys are low for all members' participation and accountability.

The client has the product. All done right?!?!? Well just a few things left to do to ensure that everything is out and safe from coming back to cause problems. Backing up the data and hooking up the analytics will allow clients to keep up to date with the users and know that their content is safe for the foreseeable future. There is a right way to leave things in your absence.

When the team holds regular meet ups this generally creates a space where individuals can air grievances and share feelings. When all the group does is work the relationships will suffer. There needs to be a human aspect to completing these tasks. After all we aren't robots.

More iteration. In Article 7 We see that student satisfaction and performance levels are greater in virtual environments versus traditional spaces. Why is this? Online environments with face to face interaction create accountability. Also, the regularly of scheduled meetings quickly present problem areas and allow a time for members to communicate needs like problem areas, time constraints, or distribution of the load. Thus, making it easier to be on the same page and feel compassionate about supporting each other.

Did the right people get the assigned task? Of all people Lou should know to first analyze where everyone is! Both in ability and how much time they can contribute to collaboration on the project. Instead people picked their positions and the work suffers because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems that everyone is working on their aspect of the project alone. There is no team identity or investment. Nestor is not able to accomplish his tasks. Hana is willing to forfeit her contributions. Mary is resentful and Lou is not able to assume any leadership of the issues.

Maybe the team could develop an identity, logo, etc. to foster relationships between the members and loyalty to the group (1, p. 8).
