UWC makes education a force to unite people, nations and

* Confront the person and talk about the problem.
Dysfunctional team members
50% of the group is always late for meetings and do not contribute to the work. It seems they are more interested in writing the EAC on their university application than anything else.
What would you do? What should you do, if you are the
“problem”?
Dysfunctional team members
In the group there are 2-3 persons who never say anything in the meetings and never volunteer for assignments.
What would you do? Why does this happen, and how do you
avoid it?
Dysfunctional team members
You are the leader of a group that is preparing a project. Two members in your team possess contrasting personalities and find it hard to work together without tensions.
What would you do as leader? What can you do as other team member? Why does this happen, and how do you avoid it?
How do you identify such a leader? How do you fix this problem?
