Crutchfield Chemical Engineering
Problem statement:
In this case, unless the director of the Polymers Department, Paul Burke, in the Corporate Technology Development division of Crutchfield Chemical Engineering is able to resolve large difference among teams in the Lumen and Absorb Teams, the Crutchfield Chemical Engineering may continue to affect its creativity, employee motivation and working environment.
Analysis:
As one of three departments in Crutchfield Chemical Engineering, Burke’s Polymers Department had five project teams in that time.

The other team members share their thoughts and ideas to provide necessary detail which can help Max to improve his draft.

As a leader, Max could set the team plan, and gave opportunities to all the members to discuss and fulfill their abilities. He also can let his team members to follow conformity without expressing his own opinions. One of the team members, Allen mentioned, the good teamwork and open communication among the entire work team contributed to a great result. As far as I am concerned, the Lumen team did it. When the first customer complaint came into Max, Max and the other members tried to fix their project and make it better which can achieve customer’s expectation. The whole team was
