Work Group vs. Work Team
• Work Group - A group who interacts primarily to share information and to make decisions to help one another perform within each member’s area of responsibility
• Work Team - Generates positive synergy through coordinated effort; Individual efforts result in a level of performance that is greater than the sum of those individual inputs

Shaping Team Players
• Selection – in addition to technical skills, managers must select employees who have the interpersonal skills to be team players
• Training – workshops on problem-solving, communications, negotiation, conflict-management and coaching skills help build team members
• Rewards – rework to encourage cooperative efforts rather than competitive ones

Is a Team the Answer?
• Questions to consider when determining if work is better done by a team: Can the work be done better by more than one
person? Does the work create a common purpose or
set of goals for the people in the group that is more than the aggregate of individual goals?
Are the members of the group interdependent?

backgrounds Members fill roles but are flexible and prefer to
be part of a group Members are committed to a common purpose
