Answer 1

Answer & Explanation: Team bonding is an important part of work as it helps to build morale and improve productivity.

In this scenario, I will most likely 'Explain the issue to team members and praise them for their work while you've been out. Let them know that you will soon have more time". This will help the team members to be involved and understand the intention.

However, I will least likely 'Immediately start spending more time with your team, even though this requires additional hours, in order to keep your other commitments'. This will mean pleasing the team at my expense and may lead to breakdown.
