What you will get: A comparison of groups and teams
“Have you earned the ‘TEAM’ title?”
It is easy for a group of people to call themselves a “team” – but that does not mean they are a team!
You see…
As far as I see it, you have to earn the title of “team.”
For example, I have encountered many senior management teams over the years who actually behave like a group of people, not a team of people.
So what’s the difference?
Well, here is a list of comparisons on how I see a GROUP compared to a real TEAM.
As I go through the list, it may be useful for you to reflect on the team or teams you are in, and decide for yourself if it is a real team.
Of course, I could continue, but I guess you get the idea?
So the title of “team” is not something to take lightly.
It is a title that needs to be earned by creating common values, beliefs and goals. And it needs to be worked on each day by creating and reinforcing acceptable team behaviour codes.
Then, and only then, can you call yourselves a team.
So, are you currently in a team or a group?
