Businesses are increasingly relying on teams to produce the results they need. The teams can be permanent, functional teams in a department, a senior management team or as is becoming more common, short-term, temporary, cross-functional teams brought together to address specific projects, tasks or challenges. Many companies have found that, just as with sports, it is not sufficient to have a few “stars” in the team. For the group to really perform, they must work together. At the risk of using an over-used cliché, the whole should be greater than the sum of the parts

Merely understanding team roles, functions and objectives is not enough to ensure a team can really perform. We have to go beyond the theory, and look deeper into individuals’ skills, personality, strengths and weaknesses, helping them to understand themselves as well as their colleagues. And just as importantly as giving them powerful tools and developing a range of skills, they need the opportunity to practice – to experience the hard and the soft side, the emotions as well as the practical, organisational and management side. And they need to be able to translate this into real situations back in the workplace.
