(1) Providing informal rewards and other cues that the
group-as-a-whole is responsible for managing itself (e.g.,
rewarding the group for solving a problem, spending
more time in interaction with the group-as-a-whole than
with individual members).
(2) Broadening the group's repertoire of problemsolving
skills tlirough appropriate problem-solving consultation
(e.g., teaching the group to use a problem-solving
process: facilitating problem-solving di.scussions).
(3) Dealing with interpersonal problems in the team
through team process consultation (e.g.. bringing up intrateam
conflicts for discussion).
(4) Signaling that individuals (or the manager her/himself)
are mainly responsible for managing the team's
work (e.g., by spending more time with individuals than
with the group; by running group meetings rather than
teaching the group how to run its own meetings).
