Which action should the project manager take to increase team cohesiveness?

Answer options

• A. Execute a rotating relocation, where team members spend a certain amount of time in each of the countries.
• B. Empower the team and emphasize the project manager's trust in them.
• C. Arrange a weekly virtual meeting to allow team members to exchange their cultures.
• D. Require each team member to physically attend at least two meetings per year.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is the best choice because regular virtual meetings can facilitate cultural exchange, fostering understanding and bonding among team members. Options A and D may not be feasible or effective in a virtual environment, while B, although empowering, does not specifically address the need for cultural exchange.
