    Concept of a team
    ► Most of work in modern organizations is done in teams or they are composed of teams,
    and individuals are required to work in different types of teams.
    ► Though individuals are important, their effectiveness depends to large extent, on the
    teams of which they are members.
    ► A team can be defined as a group of individuals, having complementary skills or
    competencies, working in face to face relationship for a common goal, having collective
    accountability for the outcome of its efforts.

    The team is different from the work group in several ways.

    and worthwhile, but feel as if they have participated in something special and worthwhile.

    hesitation; listen to others and examine others opinions, comments and feedback given by
    colleagues at all levels; and are sensitive to the need of others.

    Three main characteristics of team functioning,


    ► Cohesion amongst the members of the team.
    ► Confrontation means solving problems as they arise, rather than shying away from them;
    ► Collaboration means working together, giving and receiving help from each other.

    Four main characteristics of team empowerment are,


    ► Clarity of the roles of members, Autonomy of the team, Support provided to the team in
    terms of resources , and Collective accountability.
