It's like AE or AC. Option E is unlikely to result in passive team members participating even though it is an open discussion.

A is constructive as it helps reinforce the team's values and expectations, making it clear to the new member what behaviors are encouraged. It also provides an opportunity to ensure that these norms support inclusivity and open communication. E is also correct but I would go with A and C first

Selected Answer: AC
The team should take the following two actions to engage the new team member: 1. **A. Revisit the team's discussion on team behaviors and norms**: This can help the new team member understand the team's expectations and how they operate. It can also provide an opportunity for the team to adjust their norms if necessary to accommodate the new member. 2. **C. Coach the new team member to improve engagement with the team**: Coaching can help the new team member feel more comfortable and confident in participating in team discussions and decisions. It can provide them with the support they need to become an active and contributing member of the team.

Reporting the behavior to the project manager (option B) could be seen as escalating the issue prematurely, without first trying to resolve it within the team. Forcing participation in activities (option D) might lead to further discomfort and reluctance. Facilitating an open discussion on all ideas and perspectives (option E) is a good practice in general, but it doesn't specifically target the engagement of the new team member, which is the core issue here.

"two actions should the team take" is inportant at this question. Facilitate is servant leader's responsibility.

Going with exam suggestion. I like E. but it is passive suggestion and not more aggressive action which is typically what is asked for.

AC is correct. understand that E seems like a good choice, but the new team member might not even talk even in the open discussion.

Selected Answer: AC
The team should first revisit their discussion on team behaviors and norms to ensure that the new team member understands the expectations and feel comfortable in participating in team discussions and decisions. The team should also coach the new team member to improve their engagement with the team by providing opportunities for them to share their ideas and perspectives, and by creating a safe and welcoming environment for them to do so. It is important to avoid forcing the new team member to participate in activities that are considered easy or reporting their behavior to the project manager without first attempting to address the issue within the team.
