Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A team maintenance specialist would be the best choice to improve morale and address conflicts within the team. They are trained to promote positive relationships and address issues that may arise within the team. A gatekeeper is responsible for managing information flow, a mediator is more focused on resolving conflicts, a task specialist is focused on achieving project goals, and a groupthinker would not be beneficial as they promote conformity and discourage dissenting viewpoints.
