This document discusses team building and the stages of developing an effective team. It explains that an effective team consists of diverse individuals with different skill sets working toward a shared goal. The stages of team building are forming, storming, norming, and performing, with forming involving getting acquainted and developing a shared vision, and performing being the highest level where each member understands their role. Working together in a team can accomplish more than working alone.
