Read the OECollaboration case in Rice, Chapter 9 Group and Intergroup Relations. Write a reflection paper answering the questions from the case:

What challenges can a new manager encounter when starting to manage an existing team?

What strategies can a new manager implement to ensure that his new team is engaged with him and builds relationships to succeed in his new role?

Compare and contrast the strategies Mike Jones and Tracey James implemented to build trust and engage their team? Which manager's strategy was more effective and why? 

If you were Mike Jones what actions would you implement to change the dynamics of the team to build trust and relationships?
