Who either works alone on tasks or with others on a variety of teams?

• A. Non-managerial employees
• B. Team leaders
• C. Functional manager
• D. General manager

Answer: (A)

The ability to work either alone on tasks or with others on a variety of teams is characteristic of non-managerial employees. These are often individual contributors who execute hands-on work and can operate independently on some tasks while collaborating with different teams on others, depending on project needs. They don’t have direct reports, and their primary focus is task completion rather than supervising people or coordinating a department.

Team leaders, functional managers, and general managers, on the other hand, have supervisory or coordinating roles. They oversee work, guide teams, or manage departments, so their day-to-day focus is more on directing and integrating tasks across groups rather than primarily performing work solo or across many teams as an individual contributor would.
