At a growing technology company, developers in the R&D unit are frustrated. As a group, they're great at spinning out creative ideas, but then they have to wait for team leaders, then the department head, and finally the Chief Technology Officer to approve the creation of a new project team. This can cause delays of weeks or even months. Which of the following would be a reasonable first step in solving the problem?

Set shorter deadlines for the department head and CTO to give their approval

Give team leaders the authority to assemble, reconfigure, and dismantle project teams as needed

Give the department head the authority to assemble, reconfigure, and dismantle project teams as needed

Create a boss$-$less work environment and allow teams to assemble, reconfigure, and dissolve naturally
