6. How TEAMS work?
Individual, Team and Task

7. Work Group
 A group that interacts primarily to share
information and to make decisions to help each
group member perform within his or her area of
responsibility.
Group vs Team (work)
Work Team
 A group whose individual efforts result in a
performance that is greater than the sum of the
individual inputs.

8. Group vs Team (work)

9. Example - 1
 Outside the canteen there's a group of people waiting in a
lunch queue.
 They are all there for the same reason.
 Are they a team?
YES / NO
(NO) We agree. These people have a common purpose, but
they're not working together to achieve it! They're not a
team.
What is a TEAM?

10. Example - 2
 We are in the boardroom.
 There are seven directors on the Board.
 They meet four times a year.
 Are they a team?
YES / NO
(YES) We agree. It doesn't matter how often the Board
meets they still work together to a common purpose.
They're a team.
What is a TEAM?

11. Example - 3
 In the call centre,
 60 staff are answering customer calls.
 Are they a team?
YES / NO
(NO) We agree. We'd argue that 60 people is too many to
be a manageable team. A group this size would split into
smaller teams.
What is a TEAM?

12. Example - 4
 In the Sales & Marketing Department of EuroMotors,
 Mr. Ashira is holding a section meeting.
 He's briefing the seven members of his workgroup on
sales.
 Is this workgroup a team?
YES / NO
(YES) We agree. The workgroup is a classic team, so long as
everyone's working towards the same purpose
What is a TEAM?

13.  Work teams comprise fewer than 10 people who:
– Have a common purpose
– Are interdependent
 Teams can be:
– Hierarchical, with a strong leader
– Participative, with shared decisions and management
– A mixture of both the above
What is a TEAM?

14.  A team is defined as a group (a collection of people)
who interact to achieve a common goal
 Participants in an effective team care about the
group's well-being. They skillfully combine
appropriate individual talents with a positive team
spirit to achieve results.
What is TEAMWORK

15. Team Mission and Vision

team is a clear mission and vision.

16.  Shared Goals - Teams strive to accomplish a set of common
goals. Rather than focusing on the goals of one or two
individuals
 Problem Solving - teams usually consist of employees with
different skill sets
 Productivity - increased productivity

with fellow employees. Effective teamwork requires that
each member listen and participate.

principals everywhere in the world are striving to set up efficient teamwork
procedures in their establishments.
