Size: Managers understand the advantages and disadvantages of small and large teams, and try to build on strengths while alleviating weaknesses.

Norms: Managers can stimulate cohesiveness by allowing people on work teams to pick their own teammates, allowing off-the-job social events, and urging team members to recognize and appreciate each other's contributions to the team goal. Cohesiveness is also achieved by keeping teams small, and making sure performance standards are clear and accepted. Groupthink: The manager should allow and encourage criticism and bring other perspectives into the group.
