After identified potential weakness, areas of

conflict and missing strengths, think about the
options you have to improve and change this.
Consider:
Whether an existing team member could compensate
by purposefully adopting different a team role. With
awareness and intention, this is sometimes possible.
Whether one or more team members could improve how
they work together and with others to avoid potential
conflict of their natural styles.
Whether new skills need to brought onto the team to
cover weaknesses.
