Question

Which of the following are more likely to occur when virtual teams meet in person at the beginning
of a project?
1. A team leader will emerge and assert his or her authority.
2. Tasks will be assigned and completed.
3. Communication protocol will be determined.
4. Goals and objectives will be clearly defined.

Answer 1

More likely: 1, 3 and 4.

Reason: An in‑person kickoff promotes relationship building and norm/role negotiation (a leader often emerges), helps the team agree on communication protocols (tools, cadence, channels), and clarifies goals and objectives. Tasks may be assigned at the meeting, but actual task completion is unlikely at that early (forming) stage.
