A team member, Raj, regularly withholds information from colleagues and does not respond to requests for help. Which team consequence is most directly linked to this behaviour?

A breakdown in communication and trust, which reduces the team's ability to collaborate. Withholding information and ignoring requests leaves colleagues unable to do their work properly and unwilling to rely on Raj. It does not create role clarity or better decisions.
