If a team member has expertise in fixing things, for example, it is highly likely that he/she will take pleasure in the opportunity to fix things. Moreover, if you have a team member with significant expertise in fixing things and another with a lesser level of expertise, you can often meet the intrinsic needs of both by getting them to work as a mini-team. When the ‘expert’ coaches the ‘novice’, each is likely to gain from the experience. The effect is doubled if you later acknowledge their joint accomplishments in terms of their contribution to the larger group.
