Passage 1

A team is a group of people coming together to collaborate. This collaboration is to reach a shared goal or task for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. A group of people is not necessarily a team. A team is a group of people with a high degree of interdependence geared towards the achievement of a common goal or completion of a task, rather than just a group for administrative convenience. A group, by definition, is a number of individuals having some unifying relationship. Team members are deeply committed to each other’s personal growth and success. That commitment usually transcends the team. A team outperforms a group and outperforms all reasonable expectations given to its individual members. That is, a team has a synergistic effect — one plus one equals a lot more than two. Team members not only cooperate in all aspects of their tasks and goals, they share in what are traditionally thought of as management functions, such as planning, organizing, setting performance goals, assessing the team’s performance, developing their own strategies to manage change, and securing their own resources. A team has three major benefits for the organisation. The first benefit is that it maximizes the organisation’s human resources. Each member of the team is coached, helped and led by all the other members of the team. A success or failure is felt by all members, not just the individual. Failures are not blamed on individual members which gives them the courage to take chances. Successes are felt by every team member, this helps them to set and achieve bigger and better successes. In addition, failure is perceived as a learning lesson. The second benefit is that its output is superior, even when the odds are not in its favour. This is due to the synergistic effect of a team — a team can normally outperform a group of individuals. The third benefit is that there is continuous improvement. No one knows the job, tasks and goals better than the individual team members. To get real change, you need their knowledge, skills and abilities.
