8. TEAM
 The team members have a mutual understanding with other members. They
work jointly to maximize the strengths and minimize the weakness by
complementing each other. The most important feature of a team is
“synergy” i.e. the team can achieve much more as the members can achieve
individually. The three key features of team functioning are:
 Cohesion
 Confrontation
 Collaboration
 For example: Cricket team, team for accomplishing a project, team of
doctors, management team etc.
