When a team struggles to become productive and cannot decide on roles, the team leader should coach the team through the difficulty. This involves facilitating discussions, helping members understand their strengths and weaknesses, and guiding them to make decisions collaboratively. Coaching encourages team development and problem-solving skills, leading to a more effective and cohesive team.

Disbanding the team seems extreme. I recall a similar scenario where the leader facilitated discussions to find a way forward.

I'm not so sure about that. What if the team just can't agree? I remember a question where the leader had to step back instead.

I think the team leader should definitely coach the team through the difficult times. It reminds me of a practice question where collaboration was key.
