Your letter would take a day or two to reach its destination then if the recipient responded with a letter of his own; the process is repeated back to you. In the best-case scenario, the exchange of letters would take about a week and with each letter came an investment in both time and the material costs. Because of the investment, an additional amount of time was allotted to proof reading and the correctness of content because once it is sent, there is no way to quickly rectify any errors. As a general rule, a letter was written better, followed a specific format for its construction and did not lend itself to frivolous communication. With a letter, one makes a conscious choice on how they present themselves to the reader.

Instead, Christine waited until one week before the project was due to try to figure out a solution. By waiting as long as she did, Christine became a social facilitator for Mikes social loafing. According to our textbook, a team leader can redefine roles for each team member so that social loafer are more visible and can be held accountable by each other. The primary problem that Christine faces is holding each member of her team accountable for his or her specific roles.
