tight deadlines can lead to stress and burnout among team
members , affecting overall team morale and performance .
5 Leadership challenges : Team members from different departments
may lack the necessary skills to lead cross functional teams
effectively. They may struggle with balancing the diverse needs and
opinions of the team members.

ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM:

1)LEADERSHIP SKILLS GAP : Inadequate leadership and training
within the organisation may be the primary root cause of the team
dynamic and performance challenges at XYZ Tech solutions. Team

skills may allow conflicts to escalate or go unresolved. This can create
tension within teams, hinder collaboration, and negatively impact
