Document Summary
What is a group: 2 or more people interacting with or influencing each other, sense of mutual interaction for a common purpose. Share common objectives: interact in formal ways- different than a collection of people, group structure: develops as soon as group meets and is dependent on personalities, interactions, perceptions and expectations, group roles: expected behavior of team members. Both formal and informal roles: role clarity: greater understanding, less ambiguity as athletes know what they"re supposed to do, role acceptance: players must accept what they"re being asked to do. Help facilitate role acceptance by providing an opportunity to use special skills, providing feedback, and providing role significance: group norms: specific expectations team members adhere to. What is a team: collective sense of identity, distinctive roles, structured interaction/communication, norms, all teams are groups but not all groups are teams. Team building is evolutionary and constantly developing and changing.
