8. There are many types of teams that exist in various
industries and fields. Here are some of the most common
types of teams:
9. Project teams
These teams are
created to achieve
specific goals or
complete a particular
project. They often
include members
from different
departments .
Cross-functional
teams
Cross-functional
teams are made up of
individuals with
different skills and
knowledge.
Virtual teams
These teams work
together remotely,
often using technology
like video conferencing
to communicate and
collaborate.
10. Self-managed teams
In these teams , members
have the autonomy to
make decisions and
manage their work
without a leader.
Problem-solving
teams
As the name suggests ,
these teams are formed
to tackle specific
problems that need to
be solved.
12. Forming
The first stage, forming stage, faces a great amount of
uncertainty about the group’s purpose, structure, and
leadership amongst the members of the group.
Storming
The Storming stage is one of intra-group conflict. Members
accept the existence of the group but resist the constraints it
imposes on individuality.
Norming
In the third stage Norming, close relationships evolve and the
group develops cohesiveness. There is now a strong sense of
group identity and camaraderie.
13. Performing
The fourth stage is performing. The structure at this point is
fully functional and accepted. Group energy has moved from
getting to know and understand each other to perform the task
at hand, for permanent workgroups.
Adjourning
However, for temporary committees, teams, task forces, and
similar groups that have a limited task to perform, the
Adjourning stage is for wrapping up activities and preparing to
disband. Some group members are upbeat, basking in the
group’s accomplishments, others may be depressed over the
loss of camaraderie and friendships gained during the work
group’s life.
15. Teamwork is the activity of working together in a group, teamwork is
not just a group of people doing something, it’s the ability to work
with others and to help others.
19. A leader is the one in the charge, the person
who convinces other people to follow. A
great leader inspires confidence in other
people and moves them to action.
20. " The only definition of a leader is
someone who has followers."
37. While there can be some overlap
between the roles of a leader and a
manager, there are also some key
differences between the two:
38. Vision and Direction: A leader typically focuses on setting a vision and
direction for the organization, while a manager is responsible for
implementing that vision through specific plans and processes.
Inspiration and Motivation: Leaders inspire and motivate people to work
towards the organization's goals, while managers focus more on coordinating
and supervising the day-to-day work of their team.
Creativity and Innovation: Leaders tend to be more creative and
innovative in their approach to problem-solving, while managers typically
focus on optimizing existing processes and systems.
Risk-Taking and Decision Making: Leaders are often willing to take
calculated risks and make tough decisions in order to achieve their vision,
while managers tend to prioritize stability and minimizing risk.
