The Discipline of Teams

This document defines teams and differentiates them from work groups. It states that a team is a small group of people with complementary skills committed to a common purpose and performance goals who hold each other mutually accountable. In contrast, work groups have a strong leader, individual rather than mutual accountability, measure effectiveness indirectly, and delegate work. The document also outlines characteristics of effective teams, including specific goals, clear communication, attainable goals, small wins, and an effective size and skill mix. It identifies three types of teams: those that recommend, make or do things, and run things.
