A Group Is Not A Team

minutes to waste hours.

Team -- a group of people who are

committed to the attainment of a common
objective, who work well together and enjoy
doing so, and who produce high quality
results.

Teams do not just happen. They are developed through a

FACTORS IN TEAM DEVELOPMENT

Goals
What is the current purpose, mission, goal,
objective and action plan? The leader keeps the
team on track and monitors how relevant the
team activity is to the current goals.

Roles
What work needs to be done and
who is the best choice to carry-out
each function or the team? The
leader makes sure that roles are
identified and filled. The leader
maintains a process by which the
team holds members accountable
for filling their roles.

TEAM

Procedures
How will the work of the team get
done? What processes and
methods should be chosen? The
team leader remembers to assess
how will processes work and
moves the team to refine or
replace them when necessary.

Relationships
How are team members expected to interact and relate? The
leader provides a climate in which constructive working
relationships can evolve. The leader helps "debug" problems and
destructive conflicts before they damage the team.

Norming -Members of the

group begin to
learn from each
other and
establish
guidelines for
working together.
These "rules" may
vary widely from
team to team, but
in a well-formed
team they meet
the needs and
styles of the
members.
Leadership is
shared among
participants more
evenly and mutual
trust develops.

Performing -The team puts the

full force of its
resources into
getting results.
Goals, roles,
procedures, and
relationships
support the team
process. All is not
perfect, but success
is maintained by
rapid identification of
problems and
barriers as they
occur. Regular and
honest team
assessment is used
to keep the team on
course and to avoid
complacency.
