Consulting the team? Sounds like the manager is trying to make everyone feel "included." I prefer the "Selling" approach - just convince them it's a great idea and move on.

"Selling" seems off to me, but I can't quite recall the differences between "Consulting" and "Joining."

I'm a bit confused on this question. I'm not sure if the manager is just telling the team what to do or if they're actually consulting them. I'll have to re-read the question carefully.
