PLEASE WRITE A ONE SENTENCE DEFINITION OF

TEAM BUILDING.
WHAT IS A TEAM?
According to Webster's Ninth Edition:
“A team is a number of persons associated
together in work or activity: as a group on one
side (as in football or debate).”
In other words, when one person cannot accomplish a
job alone and several individuals must cooperate to
fulfill a mission, you need a team. The better the
cooperation, communication, and coordination among
team members, the more efficient the team.
COMMON NEED
 The overriding need of all people working
for the same organization: to make the
organization profitable.

athletic arena, winning is the ultimate goal.

both business and personal partnerships such as
marriage.
CONCEPTIONS OF “TEAM”
Circumstantial:
Here, “team” simply means any group
in the same place at the same time. For
example, in this context a company in
general or all the managers in an
organization could be considered a team
WHY TEAMS WORK
 Teams initiate change.

Often those at the top of the

organization are challenged by
what changes are necessary
within an organization. Teams
provide a valuable source of
feedback.
WHY TEAMS WORK
 Teams are natural problem solving devices.
A team setting opens up new
communication lines. Because of the
necessity of communication within a
team, members encounter problems and
challenges in early stages and are able to
head them off with greater efficiency and
success.
WHY TEAMS WORK
 Teams are collections of the organization’s
best assets.

Each team member has specific talents. By

combining individuals in team fashion, all of
these talents are joined to work toward a
common goal.
