Just because you are called a “team” doesn’t mean you work like one. Individuals brought together to accomplish a goal, does not necessarily a team make. Teams can be a departmental work group, or a true independent functioning team. Regardless of structure, for a team to work well together, they need clearly defined roles, responsibilities and a shared appreciation for the talents and skills of the team members.

Some of the best team development occurs when the team is in its day to day work, using an external facilitator to help them process team issues, change behaviors, shift perspectives and ultimately achieve their goals more effectively and with less unnecessary conflict.
