As team leader, Edwin sees team members via videoconference only a few times per year or via compressed video via Internet a few times more per year.

Yet, due to the position he is in, he feels he gets all of their complaints. The team does not deal well when a member offers an "off-the-wall" solution to a team problem; team members seem to have more trouble with this than any other team-conflict issue) What he likes most about leading the team is that they seem to prefer getting their objective accomplished instead of wasting time trying to decide who should be doing what tasks.
