The leader of three lobbying teams has a plan to introduce permanent, across-the-board, top-to-bottom tax cuts for individuals and businesses. He wants to do this to help the economy grow and avoid a recession. Additionally, he predicts that the dollars freed up through taxation will create new jobs and wages, and spur economic growth and an expanding U.S. economy, thereby creating more jobs and higher tax revenues (Perry, 2012) . Each lobbyist team is made up of three people and has a specific group in which they advance their leader's agenda. Furthermore, all teams are essentially work teams with mutual interdependence. Within each team, members all share the same core values ​​and assumptions; team structure reflects authority, communication patterns, and responsibility for certain functions in the organization; they agreed on methods to get work done in the organization. All of these aspects of each team support teamwork (Dyer, 2007). The first team of lobbyists, Maximilian, Harvey and Stan, try to promote their leader's program to a union group. The labor group is interested in tax cuts because it will provide them with more money they need. In addition, if the program produces the expected results, new jobs will be created; therefore, people belonging to the working group can find employment more easily and have more money in their pockets. Because of the union group's interest in the leader's agenda, Maximilian, Harvey, and Stan must each be well informed about what the union group wants and needs, in addition to how the agenda will affect them. Overall, the message from this team of lobbyists is that their leader's agenda has positive results that will benefit the labor group....... middle of paper ......am Performance.
