            5. p3, 1
            6. too intimidated to speak up
            7. p3, L
            8. ALL intensely intrinsically motivated

         5. Ira Lovas
            1. p5, 1

            8. not very cooperative
            9. insistent on doing his way

         7. Gary Pinto
            1. p8, 6
            2. ... he needed to think about how to convince Lovas that his design would certainly benefit from Bennett's input and how to convince Bennett that his time would be well spent collaborating with Lovas.

            1. p3, 1

         2. Minimized risks
      3. Assumption
         1. We only need to handle these two senior engineers.
         2. Project failure is bad for everybody.
         3. Bennett is a somewhat stubborn but generally reasonable person.
            1. (They both can be reasoned.)
         4. The company has a research department.
         5. Though the other team members do have some problems in mutual trust, communication and thus team work, it is in general not the biggest issue now.
      4. Solution
         1. Plan A
            1. 向两人充分陈述当前团队的困难

            6. 选择放下成见，精诚合作

            8. If Gary who has good "people skills" cannot make them cooperate, they cannot, either.
         2. Plan B
            1. (Putting them into different teams might be effective, but try more to figure out cooperative solutions.)
         3. Plan ?
         4. Plan Y
