  1. Each job gets done better · When people do jobs they are good at, the whole business works better.
  2. Dividing the jobs · Each friend has a different job. Splitting up the work like this is called dividing the jobs.
  3. False · Sharing different jobs works better than having everyone do the same one.
  4. There is nothing to sell · Without someone making the lemonade, the sellers have nothing to offer customers.
  5. Theo · Theo's strength is drawing, so the sign matches his skill best.
  6. 3 · Each job goes to one person, so 3 jobs need 3 people.
  7. The product might never get made · When teams don't talk, jobs can be missed completely, like nobody making the product at all.
  8. One person can't do every job well; different strengths help more · No one is good at every job. Sharing tasks by strength gets better results than one person doing everything.
