How TEAMS work?

Individual, Team and Task

Work Group

A group that interacts primarily to share information and to make decisions to help each group member perform within his or her area of responsibility.

Group vs Team (work)

Work Team

A group whose individual efforts result in a performance that is greater than the sum of the individual inputs.

Group vs Team (work)

Example - 1 Outside the canteen there's a group of people

waiting in a lunch queue. They are all there for the same reason. Are they a team?

YES / NO

(NO) We agree. These people have a common purpose, but they're not working together to achieve it! They're not a team.

What is a TEAM?

Example - 2 We are in the boardroom. There are seven directors on the Board. They meet four times a year. Are they a team?

YES / NO

(YES) We agree. It doesn't matter how often the Board meets they still work together to a

common purpose. They're a team.

What is a TEAM?

Example - 3 In the call centre, 60 staff are answering customer calls. Are they a team?

YES / NO

(NO) We agree. We'd argue that 60 people is too many to be a manageable team. A group this size

would split into smaller teams.

What is a TEAM?

Example - 4 In the Sales & Marketing Department of EuroMotors, Mr. Ashira is holding a section meeting. He's briefing the seven members of his workgroup

on sales. Is this workgroup a team?

YES / NO

(YES) We agree. The workgroup is a classic team, so long as everyone's working towards the same purpose

What is a TEAM?

Work teams comprise fewer than 10 people who:– Have a common purpose– Are interdependent

Teams can be:– Hierarchical, with a strong leader– Participative, with shared decisions and

management– A mixture of both the above

What is a TEAM?

A team is defined as a group (a collection of people) who interact to achieve a common goal

Participants in an effective team care about the group's well-being. They skillfully combine appropriate individual talents with a positive team spirit to achieve results.

Objectives of Teamwork

Distributing the workload Reinforcing individual capabilities Creating participation and involvement Making better decisions Feeling like we play a part in the work being done Generating a diversity of ideas, etc.

Benefits of Teamwork

No one can whistle a symphony. It takes an orchestra to play it.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships

Teamwork Divides the Task and Multiplies the Success

A successful team beats with one heart

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision.

Many hands makes work light

A job worth doing is worth doing together.

Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and

working together is success.

Strength lies in differences, not in similarities

Teamwork: Simply stated, it is less me and more we

Teams have become the latest management obsession. They're the corporate equivalent of a Visa card: they're everywhere you

want to be. Managers, school principals everywhere in the world are striving to set up efficient teamwork procedures in

their establishments.Article of Nada's ESL Island – Resource for Teachers & Student
