Teams are becoming more popular in organizations as they allow employees to use their talents better and are more flexible than individuals. A work team is defined as a group whose efforts are greater than the sum of individual inputs. There are different types of teams such as problem-solving teams, self-managed teams, task forces, committees, cross-functional teams, and virtual teams. Creating effective teams requires factors such as adequate resources, leadership, trust among members, and proper performance evaluations. Team composition, work design, processes, and leadership are also important for team success. However, teams are not always preferable to individuals for certain types of work.
