    Effective teams have open communication that flows freely among all members. People have trusting and respectful relationships where they collaborate supportively and see conflict as natural. The atmosphere is open and noncompetitive. Decisions are made by consensus to efficiently use resources and ensure full commitment. Creativity comes from many options and a solution-oriented focus. Power is shared based on competence and contribution. Motivation comes from commitment to group goals that satisfy belonging needs. Rewards are based on contribution to the group.
