TEAMS DIFFER FROM TASK FORCES IN TWO
WAYS.
v
Teams
identify problems rather than merely reacting to problems identified by others.
v
Teams
decide on a course of action and implement it, rather than leaving the
implementation to others.
v
Teams
are widely used today and are often, but not always, task groups from across
command groups.
v
An
entrepreneurial team is a group of individuals with diverse expertise
and backgrounds who are brought together to develop and implement innovative
ideas aimed at creating new products or services or significantly improving
existing ones.
v
Self-managed teams, or autonomous
work groups, are working groups given responsibility for a task area without
day-to-day supervision and with authority to influence and control both group
membership and behavior.
§
Assessment
of the situation is critical in that self-managing teams are not successful in
all situations.
§
Group
makeup and proper allocation of needed resources is important.
§
Team
training and guidance in cultivating appropriate norms are important.
§
Managers
need to remove performance obstacles and assistance to help the group continue
to learn.
