You are currently leading an independent test team of 4 members who perform system testing on a payroll application. The 4 members of staff are described below: John is one of the senior testers.

He is sometimes considered manipulative and often delegates personal work. Sue is a senior tester. She always seems busy and often seems to have too much work to do. However, she gets her work done, regardless of what it takes. She is often inclined to worry unduly and sometimes considered argumentative and blunt. She is conscientious and searches out errors and omissions. She always delivers on time. Steve is a tester. He is serious-minded and often looks ahead. When given problems to solve, he often looks at all options before deciding. He needs to be a little more diplomatic in his approach to others because his attitude often negatively affects team dynamics. He is a good person to discuss ideas with.
