This document discusses team building and group dynamics. It defines teams and groups, noting that teams have individual and shared accountability, collectively work on products, and directly assess their work. Groups have a leader who delegates work and assesses effectiveness indirectly. Effective teams continuously monitor work through measuring mission achievement, empowerment, and communication. Training is important for teams, including technical, behavioral, bonding, stress management, and emotional skills. Highly effective teams boost organizational growth by facilitating non-routine work, absorbing pressure, utilizing unique skills, and increasing job satisfaction and opportunities.
