HOW TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE WORK TEAM

WHY HAVE TEAMS BECOME SO
POPULAR?
One word to define team would be the ability to be more
effective in heavier workloads.

“A team of people happily committed to the project and to one

another will outperform a brilliant individual every time,” quoted
from Rich Karlgaard.

GROUP IS WHEN TWO OR MORE INDIVIDUALS,
INTERACTING AND INTERDEPENDENT, WHO WORK

 SIMILARITY
IN BOTH WORK GROUPS AND WORK TEAMS,

THERE ARE OFTEN BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS OF MEMBERS, COLLECTIVE

NORMALIZATION EFFORTS, ACTIVE GROUP DYNAMICS, AND SOME LEVEL OF DECISION

MAKING.

BOTH MAY GENERATE IDEAS, POOL RESOURCES, OR COORDINATE LOGISTICS

SUCH AS WORK SCHEDULES; FOR THE WORK GROUP,

HOWEVER, THIS EFFORT IS LIMITED TO INFORMATION GATHERING FOR DECISION

PROBLEM-SOLVING TEAM

Problem Solving Teams are temporary structures

that bring together leaders and team members

from across the organization to focus on solving

a specific problem.

Problem-solving teams rarely have the authority

to implement their suggestions unilaterally, but

if their recommendations are paired with

implementation processes, some significant

improvements can be realized.

 SELF-MANAGED WORK TEAM

self-managed work teams are groups of

employees who perform highly related or

interdependent jobs; these teams take on some

supervisory responsibilities.

The responsibilities usually include planning and

scheduling work, assigning tasks to members,

making operating decisions, taking action on

problems, and working with suppliers and SUPERVISORY

customers. Fully selfmanaged work teams even POSITIONS

information, develop new ideas, solve problems,

and coordinate complex projects.

 VIRTUAL TEAM
the other types of teams differ from virtual

team as they all work face to face. virtual

teams use computer technology to unite

physically dispersed members and achieve

a common goal.

They collaborate online—using

communication links such as wide-area

networks, corporate social media,

videoconferencing, and e-mail—whether

members are nearby or continents apart.

Nearly all teams do at least some of their

work remotely.
 MULTITEAM SYSTEM

Increases in team size are accompanied by higher coordination demands,

creating a tipping point at virtual teams Teams that use technology to tie

together physically dispersed members in order to achieve a common goal.

To solve this problem, organizations use multiteam systems, collections of two or

more interdependent teams that share a superordinate goal. In other words,

multiteam systems are a “team of teams.

EFFECTIVE WORK TEAM MODEL

with the help of these 3, context, composition, and processes, teams could

aquire the needed strengths to help them become more effective.
