There are five main types of teams in the workplace: work teams, problem solving teams, self-managed teams, cross-functional teams, and virtual teams. Work teams have specific skills to perform daily tasks and are permanent. Problem solving teams are temporary and come together to solve a specific problem before disbanding. Self-managed teams give members decision-making power and cross-training. Cross-functional teams include people with different skills to solve problems and can be permanent or temporary. Virtual teams are geographically dispersed and use technology to communicate and collaborate.
