Teams- whether they are self directed, quality action or regular teams - need to be
productive, constructive and responsive to change. A well functioning team has common goals, is
able to communicate openly and has the ability to learn from mistakes. Discover the 5
characteristics of successful teams and what individuals must do to build the team.
Introduction

More and more organisations around the world are turning to teams as a key way of structuring
their operations. Whether they be on-going work teams, self directed teams, quality action teams
or whatever, interest in how to build and maintain effective teams is increasing.

present. The absence of any of these characteristics will pinpoint what a team needs to do to
improve.
