Scenario
An American Internet Technology company has merged with a Canadian Social Media company. Because of this merger, performance is not as optimum as the executives would have hoped; morale is low, and stress is up. The new company has decided to hire you as an Organizational Development consultant. They have tasked you with finding out the issues and what they should do next to get back on track.
Instructions

Make sure you address the following in your presentation as you will be giving it to the management team:
- Introduce the characteristics of a high performing team.

- How does effective goal-setting drive productivity?
