Part III: Review and EvaluateTo critically review the article, ask the following questions:

• What are the credentials/areas of expertise of the author?
• Did the author use appropriate methods to gather the evidence?
• Did the author use accurate evidence?
• Does the author’s use and interpretation of this evidence lead the reader to the same conclusion? Did the author build a logical argument?
• Is there other evidence that would support a counterargument?
• Was the author successful in making his/her point?

Part IV: ConclusionState whether you agree with the author or not. Back up your decisions by stating your reasons. Give a general opinion of the work. Explain what you learned from reading the article and if you would recommend it to a friend/coworker.

Part V: ApplicationPredict some of the major challenges that teams will face in the future, and explain why the need for teamwork will remain high as it relates to the article. Identify a team-building activity that may be useful for managing teams in the future, and explain why.
