Abstract

Teams often collapse over personality issues. This case examines such a collapse, in the context of an MBA student learning team. Students can explore personality differences, analytical strategy, and gender, ethnicity, and race issues. Joann Moyer, an MBA student facing first-year exams, is anxious and conflicted about what she perceives as personality conflicts among her team members. In the A case, she prepares to confront the other students in her group. The business world requires people to work together successfully, and good learning teams learn to cultivate the necessary skills for doing so. See also the B case (UVA-OB-0840).
