What is a team?
A team is a group where members are focused on a common goal. A group is not necessarily a team. A group can have individuals with varied interests, attitude as well as thought processes. It is not necessary that the group members would have a common objective or a common goal to achieve. A group of people with a full set of complementary skills required to complete a task, job, or project. Teams differ from other type of groups in that members are focused on a joint goal or product, such as a presentation, completing in-class exercises, taking notes, discussing a topic, writing a report, or creating a new design or prototype. Meetings function most efficiently when members come prepared and ground rules are laid out. What types of teams are not recommended? Sports teams What are the types of team?
