The document discusses factors that impact the effectiveness of teams according to Beckhard's model. Beckhard's model examines four key factors: goals, roles, work processes, and relationships. Clear and shared goals help ensure team members are working towards the same ends. Well-defined roles and responsibilities are important to avoid conflicts or assumptions. Effective work processes include clear decision making, communication, and meeting structures. Positive relationships where conflicts are resolved constructively are also important for team success. The environment the team operates within can either support or hinder its efforts.
