Recently, two analysts just out of college have joined your systems analysis group at the newly formed company Mega Phone. When talking to you about the group, they mention that some things strike them as odd. One is that group members seem to look up to two group leaders, Bill and Penny, not just one.
Their observation is that Bill seems pretty relaxed, whereas Penny is always planning and scheduling activities. They have also observed that everyone “just seems to know what to do” when they get into a meeting, even though no instructions are given. Finally, they have remarked on the openness of the group in addressing problems as they arise, instead of letting things get out of hand.
