J is considering building a small management team to help him run the restaurant. 
The team would be picked from existing employees – including waiters, bar staff and 
kitchen staff members – and would help J to make the decisions necessary to run 
YGH. 
Consider the following statements:
A 
Improved mix of skills and abilities, which will help J given his relative 
inexperience 
B 
Risk of increased social interaction between management team members, 
slowing decision-making down 
C 
Reduced speed of decision making within YGH due to disagreements, conflicts 
and negotiations between team members 
D 
As a team, YGH’s staff may make less beneficial decisions as they are more 
likely to be compromises 
E 
There will be reduced scope for flexibility if YGH has a team of managers 
F 
As a team, each person in the management team will have increased personal 
responsibility for the decisions the team makes 
G 
Operating as a management team means less group pressure to conform 
H 
The creation of a team of managers is likely to reduce synergy within YGH
