14 Teams

Teams can be formal or informal. Formal teams are deliberately created by managers to achieve organizational goals, such as command teams, committees, and project teams. Informal teams form naturally and provide social benefits like norms, status, communication, and problem-solving support. High performance teams, also called superteams, have characteristics of both formal and informal teams and work across departments. Self-managed teams govern themselves without supervision and are responsible for their work methods, scheduling, and task assignments, with performance determining compensation. Key aspects of teams include leadership roles, stages of development, norms, and cohesiveness.
