I was asked to create this memo to comply with the company's entrance into a new market segment. I have been paired with a team for this assignment, assembled to carry out the company's plans and meet its goals. I, Danielle Williams, will team with Christopher Joshua, Robert Preston, Colleen Scali, and Curtrina Swan to achieve the goals assigned to our group. We are very different people, but we also share many similarities. After analyzing the personalities of the group members, I think the best approach for us would something along the lines of a democratic style, with some laissez-faire attributes. Our similarities will allow the group to take less time to agree on main issues, and our differences open the members' eyes to new ways to tackle activities.

Robert and Christopher are more intuitive than Curtrina and me, who rely on our senses and what is going on around us. These different personality traits will allow our group to be diverse and use those differences to efficiently and effectively accomplish the goals for this new department and our company as a whole.
