8. CONCLUSION
• Simply bringing people together does not
necessarily ensure they will function effectively as a
team or make appropriate decisions.
• people have a variety of emotional and social needs
which the team can either frustrate or help to meet
• Do not only focus on technical skills, knowledge and
experience but also their ability to co-ordinate
actions and their inter-personal qualities.
