Question 14

+1 markOne correct option

Read the case study, then answer the question At LT Inc., the management team noticed a unique behaviour among their staff. Every morning, before the daily team meeting, all employees would gather in the conference room several minutes early. During this time, they would discuss various work-related issues, exchange ideas, and offer suggestions. Although there were no formal rules or guidelines regarding this pre-meeting routine, it was understood that participation was expected. One day, a new team member, Nikitha, joined the company and was unaware of this unwritten rule. On her first day, she arrived right on time for the daily meeting and was surprised to see her colleagues already engaged in deep conversations. Feeling left out, she approached the team manager, Uthaman Pradeep, for clarification. Uthaman Pradeep explained to Nikitha that this was a long-standing practice at LT Inc. and that everyone was expected to participate in the pre-meeting routine. Nikitha quickly adapted and became an active participant in the pre-meeting discussions. What aspect of communication that is followed within teams is best illustrated in the scenario at LT Inc.?
