Traditional (read boring) descriptions...
"A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they are mutually accountable." (Katzenbach and Smith, 1993)
"People working together in a committed way to achieve a common goal or mission. The work is interdependent and team members share responsibility and hold themselves accountable for attaining the results." (MIT Information Services and Technology)
"A team is a group of people working together towards a common goal." (Team Technology, 1995-2006)
"A group in which members work together intensively to achieve a common group goal." (Lewis-McClear & Taylor 1998)
The real deal...
A Team is knowing that you have someone at your back willing to do anything to help you succeed!
A Team is understanding that whatever happens within the team, it is owned by the whole team! Good or bad!
A Team is never ending work.
A Team doesn’t need reminding it is a team...
There is nothing more powerful or exciting than a team in full flight...
