Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
As this project consists of team members from different countries and those who are not fluent in English, the characteristic that Bruce should focus on is providing clarity and reducing confusion in cases where conflicting views could arise. It is important to get buy-in from all team members, but this is not the first item Bruce and the team should tackle. Leadership and the project team should be held to the same principles, but the question is asking what Bruce should focus on first. Team charters do include a definition of purpose and the mission, but the question is asking what Bruce should focus on first.Discussion
