Having just completed presenting a 3-day course on high perfomring teams,
I am sensitized to the observations included in Michael's note about
definitions.
I am in complete agreement with the last two lines he typed with the
criterium that a team have "a common goal that needs the coordinated
efforts of its members to succeed".
When asking the participants to surface "team" qualities which come to
mind, these invariably include lower levels of abstraction pointing toward
the general statement I've quoted above.
