| Overview: One of the key distinctions between groups and teams is that groups are static while teams are capable of growth and change. A group is constrained by procedures. It is there to carry out duties. A team, on the other hand, can take on a life of its own. Although it may have the same members as the group had, teamwork means that the members can learn from each other. As they develop, so the team develops. Team development is the key to transforming poor teams into winning ones. |
