Multiple Choice

Ross built a team from various departments (designers from research and development, model makers from production, copywriters from marketing, etc.) and assigned them the task of developing the new toy. The twelve members of the team were freed from all other duties so they could concentrate on developing this new toy. During their first week together, members were exposed to different ways of thinking. One of the hardest things the group had to deal with was the lack of structure.

The strength of the team lay in its members' abilities to build on each other's ideas and to trust one another. Refer to Mattel.
