Teamwork - work performed by a group that contributes towards a mutual goal.
Team dynamic
When assembling a team it is important to consider the overall dynamic of the team.
According to Frank LaFasto, when building a team, five dynamics are fundamental to team success:
1. The team member: Successful teams are made up of a collection of effective individuals.
These are people who are experienced, have problem solving ability, openness to addressing the problem,
action oriented.
2. Team relationships: For a team to be successful the members of the team must be able to give and
receive feedback.
3. Team problem solving: An effective team depends on how focused and clear the goal of the team is. A relaxed, comfortable and accepting environment and finally, open and honest communication.
4. Team leadership: Effective team leadership depends on leadership competencies.
A competent leader is: focused on the goal, ensures a collaborative climate, builds confidence of team members,
sets priorities, demonstrates sufficient "know-how" and manages performance through feedback.
5. Organizational environment: The climate and culture of the organization must be conductive to team behavior.
