For a team to perform at the highest level, in terms of both process and results, the members need to pay attention to four areas:
Commitment—The team's establishment of a common purpose, and the roles, values, expectations and ground rules required to achieve that common purpose.
Communication—The skills, processes and technology to best help team members communicate one-on-one and throughout the team.
Collaboration—Team members' ability to work effectively with each other as well as with other teams in the organization, and to make decisions and resolve conflicts.
Coordination—The need for team members to facilitate the team process and to provide appropriate rewards and recognition for team-related achievements.
Types of Teams
There are many types of teams in the modem work environment, but the three most common types are:
Intact Vertical Teams—Members generally performing similar functions (i.e., sales,marketing, production, etc.) on a long-term basis.
Intact Cross-Functional Teams—Members from different disciplines working together to produce results on a long-term basis. Examples include product development teams, standing committees, or quality circles.
Project-Specific Teams—Members working in a limited time frame to achieve specific results. These include ad-hoc committees and search teams.
