    Turning Groups into Effective Teams

    are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and
    approach for which they are mutually accountable."
    (Katzenbach and Smith, 1993)

    Synergy, means that the


    effect of the whole is
    greater than the sum of
    the effects of the
    individual parts.

    employee talents

    Teams are more flexible and responsive

    Teams can be quickly
