Description
Scenario
Large Technology Corporation (LTC) recently acquired the company Small Technology Company (STC). You currently work on a team of four members at LTC. But, with the acquisition, your team is expected to expand to 10 members.
The new team members have a diverse demographic makeup as well as varying levels of professional experience, both in their careers and at the company. Since STC was a small company, the employees did not have a great amount of oversight, but were instead primarily responsible for their own actions, rather than accountable to a manager. In addition, the employees were responsible for dividing up tasks among themselves and generally were able to complete the variety of tasks required at the company, allowing them to step into any role necessary.
At LTC, all employees work at the company’s headquarters, but STC has three remote employees who will continue to be remote with the acquisition. As LTC does not currently have any remote employees, it will need to develop strategies for effectively collaborating with them.
In a recent meeting, your manager explained the importance of ensuring the teams can blend as seamlessly as possible. To assist with this, your manager has asked that you develop a team management plan detailing how you will lead the newly formed team. It is important to show not only the recommendations, but also the reasoning behind these recommendations.
