Document Summary
Chapter 11 readings: definition and importance of teams (page 295) A team is in place when two or more people interact dynamically and interdependently and hare a common and valued goal, objective, or mission. Teams do not have to be permanent, and team members do not have to be in the same geographical location. In fact, team members do not need to have ever met in person to be members of the same team. As long as they work together, need each other, and share common goals, they are considered to be members of the same team. Numerous organizations are structured around teams, including teams called autonomous work groups, process teams, or self-managing work teams. Second, many organizations have gone through downsizing and restructuring, which has led them to become flatter and has reduced the number of hierarchical levels: using teams provides greater flexibility for these organizations.
