The Self-Directed Team
• A self-directed team is a team that is responsible
for a whole product or process.
• The team plans the work and performs it,
managing many of the tasks supervision or
management might have done in the past.
• A facilitator (selected by the team or an outside
individual) helps the group get started and stay on
track.
• The facilitator’s role decreases as the team
increases its ability to work together effectively.
