Team Management

To complete a specific task or to accomplish organizational goals along with increasing work productivity, individuals need to come together and think along a common path and direction. There are certain tasks in an organization that cannot be done alone and the involvement of more individuals is essential. These groups of individuals who work together for a common goal compose a team and the individual members involved are known as team members.

1. The two-peg test is used to determine if the line of sight of the telescope is parallel to the axis of the bubble tube. A tilting level is set up halfway between points A and B and rod reading on both points are 1.969 and 2.161 m respectively. The level is then set up 1.50 m away from A along the extension of line AB and 53.50 from B. Then rod readings on A and B were recorded as 1.554 m and 1.728 m, respectively. Determine if the line of sight is inclined downward or upward and the amount by which the horizontal cross hair should be moved to adjust the line of sight.
