Team is more than a work group.
Work group, members are directed by
a boss, that does not necessarily
collaborate with each other to
complete a task.
Team is a collection of individuals with
complementary skills who work
together; committed to a shared
purpose, common performance goals,
and hold themselves accountable.
Team makes decisions that reflect the
know-how and expertise of many
people - not just the leader.
