Here are some of the common types Task force A temporary team assembled to investigate a specific issue or problem. Problem solving team A temporary team assembled to solve a specific problem. Product design team A temporary team assembled to design a new product or service. Committee A temporary or permanent group of people assembled to act upon some matter. Quality circle (today also under various other names) A group of workers from the same functional area who meet regularly to uncover and solve work-related problems and seek work improvement opportunities.

5. Work Group A group that interacts primarily to share information and to make decisions to help each group member perform within his or her area of responsibility. Work Team A group whose individual efforts result in a performance that is greater than the sum of the individual inputs. Types of Teams (cont’d)

10. Stages of Team Development

14. Stages of Team Development Production (Performing) The team is accomplishing work effectively. Production is high and the climate is positive. Member attitudes are characterized by positive feelings and eagerness to be part of the team. Members are confident about the outcome, enjoy open communication, exhibit high energy, and disagreement is welcome and handled without emotional conflict. Although work is being accomplished through all the stages, this stage reflects the work being accomplished most effectively.

15. Stages of Team Development Termination In the case of temporary teams such as task forces, design teams, and problem solving teams, a fifth stage reflects the ending of the process. Depending on the team's success in accomplishing its task and how strongly the members have bonded, this stage may reflect either a sense of loss or relief. When a team ends, time should be spent addressing how it should be done to properly recognize the team's accomplishments.
