Given your recommendations in Step 3, identify and analyze challenges that are likely to arise in coordinating the work of these geographically dispersed teams (in Paris, Tokyo, Honolulu, and on the East Coast of the United States).

manage disagreements
limit harmful conflict
build swift trust
prevent free ridership
make timely decisions
complete assigned work
qualify as a high-performing team
Consider the possible steps your client organization might take to limit challenges associated with likely personality differences and other differences among team members.
