WHAT IS AN EFFECTIVE TEAM?

An effective team is a group of committed individuals working together towards clearly defined goals, and a common vision, in an atmosphere of mutual trust, truth, care and support for each other and a willingness to take specific action.

Teams develop at different rates and with unique patterns that depend on the task, the setting, the members’ individual characteristics and behavioural patterns and the style of leadership to which they are exposed. Characteristics of groups include structure, status hierarchy, roles, norms, leadership, cohesiveness and inter-group conflict. These characteristics pervade all groups. In an informal group, they emerge from within the unit; in a formal group, they are established by the managerial process. All these factors influence the effectiveness of a team. When things go badly wrong in a team and the team leader doesn’t know how to fix it the team’s efficacy is limited at best.

Elsabé is highly successful at facilitating Team Re-Buildings. Team leaders gain new respect and trust from their team members for demonstrating their willingness to heal relationships and to resolve issues.
