Chapter 12 group behavior and effective teams. Teams: an interdependent collection of at least two individuals who share common goal and responsibility for a specific outcome. The team must be a real team, rather than a team in name only. It has an enabling structure that facilitates teamwork. Process gain: the performance improvements that occur because people work together rather than independently. Process loss: when a team of people working together performs worse than the individual members would have if they had worked alone.
