Why have an innovative team?
• Because companies that have introduced team-based organisations have reported up to 40% gains in productivity and design and manufacturing flaws (mistakes) cut by half
• Other organisations have reported massive cost savings and increases in profit
(reference ‘Management, Theory and Practise ’by Kris Cole)

Teams are not always appropriate
• However not all jobs and activities are handled best by teams
• Teams are not needed when the leader really does know best and when people can work independently
• Teams do not work without clear objectives and are given insufficient training & support
(reference ‘Management, Theory and Practise ’by Kris Cole)

Group Dynamics• Because they interact and influence each
other, groups develop a number of dynamic processes that separate them from a random collection of individuals
• The field of group dynamics is primarily concerned with small group behaviour
