The Module 1 assessment requires you to consider how effective teams are built as well as how they effectively communicate. Some considerations in this assessment include the traits of an effective team leader as well as the strategies one would use to recruit team members that would communicate and work effectively together.

Using material from Chapters 12 and 13 of your text as well as the article in the supplemental reading (Rao, 2016), you will write an informative essay sharing best practices for effective team-building and team communication.
