1. Developing as a team, especially for permanent teams, allows members to become better at their jobs and work more effectively together over time. Temporary teams should still develop team skills for future use. 2. Building a team is important for organizational success. The team leader plays a key role in the team's performance. Individual team members should have their own skills to contribute and collaborate effectively. 3. Recruitment should focus on both bringing in new talent and retaining current employees to allow the team to build experience and knowledge together over time through developing skills like leadership.
