The Traditional Team
There are several characteristics common to
traditional teams.
A team gains a shared understanding and purpose
among team members, as distinguished from a
group.
Teams require mutually agreed-upon operating
principles such as agendas, procedures, and
decision-making processes.
A team is interdependent; everyone works for the
good of the team, not for oneself.
Effective teams distinguish task from process. How
they do things (the process) is just as important, if
not more important, than what they do (the task).
