In society today, most of the individual tasks associated with our daily routines are becoming more complex and diverse. Cultural changes, technological advancements, productivity and commitments are of high importance, a need to improve team co-operation and involvement should be an intricate part of the company's commitment to succeed. .
By providing a team process within the Business Units of the company, they will be able to gather and manage complex data, analyse problems, plan effectively, implement plans and evaluate outcomes. The most powerful leaders within our society understand that, individuals working in isolation find it hard to maximise the potential of an organisation. .
I believe that the key to our success will be by implementing a process that will enable our employees to share ideas, energy, and resources by encouraging team involvement. The company needs people that are committed and are competent in delivering a service. .
Although it is possible to deliver a service without high levels of commitment and teamwork, experience has shown that without commitment and cooperation, quality, consistency and cost effectiveness cannot be guaranteed in the long term. Nutting, Cielens, Strachan (1996,168).
FEATURES OF A TEAM PROCESS.
Nutting, Cielens and Strachan highlight four basic features that characterise most teams;.
? Common goals or purposes.
? Accepted roles and procedures.
? Commitment by team members.
? Accountability.
.
They defined these features as a group of people committed to working towards a common goal, using accepted rules and procedures to undertake identifiable tasks and roles aimed at achieving the goal. Nutting, Cielens, Strachan (1996,169).
.
This alone does not guarantee that the team will be effective. To create an atmosphere that will be effective, the team must recognise that to achieve these goals leadership is vital to the continued expansion and achievement of the group.
