Teamwork

Teamwork is important to both organizations and quality. However, it is difficult to implement teamwork, if at first you lack a team. So, to begin with, leaders need skills in team building prior to improving skills in teamwork. Consider several factors of teambuilding, and then consider how this will influence leadership and teamwork once the team is established.

Please answer the following:

  1. What role does team makeup, or consistency, have in team building? How would this factor later influence leadership and teamwork?
  2. What role does team size have in team building? How would this factor later influence leadership and teamwork?
  3. What role does team member selection have in team building? How would this factor later influence leadership and teamwork?
