Do you need a team or would a working group do just as well? 

Julie has extensive experience working with businesses and organisations who spend considerable time building teams and team working when in reality they don’t need a team a working group would be fine. 

In this episode she explains the differing roles of the individuals in teams and working groups and discusses what it takes for a team to be high performing, what do you need a team or working group?  listen in and find out 

  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Team or working group 

• The energy and effort that goes into building a team isn’t always required. 
• The definition of a team is where one person cannot win without the others. 
• A team is a committed group of individuals all working towards the same goal and aim they all need each other to cross the line. 
• In a working group, people can do their own thing and all get to the same place but are not reliant on the others in the group. 
• A team has a reliance on other people whereas a working group does not. 

Storming 

Tuckman’s theory focuses on the way a team tackles a task - Forming, storming, norming, and performing. 

In reality when you look at how teams meet, gel and perform very few teams ever storm. 

You will know when a team is storming because there will be arguments and conflict. 

Usually when a team is formed the individuals conform to a set of rules and conventions. 

• We are polite in our organisations because we want others to like us so storming in a team is rare unless you create the storm. 
• It is only when you have ‘storming’ within a team that it becomes a high performing team. 
• Very few teams become high performing because we don’t create the process required for them to reach a high level of performance. 

  

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Look at the percentage of teams in your business that are achieving their goals’ 

‘Because people don’t have the difficult conversations, that would help everyone we don’t get to be high performing organisations’ 

‘Managing is a part of the job, not an add on and it needs time allocated to it’
