Types of Teams

The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines a team as a number of persons associated together in work or activity.  Teams are formed for many purposes. Examples include project teams, ad-hoc teams, quality improvement teams, and task forces. Sometimes the team is formed to work on a goal as an adjunct to a traditional hierarchy in an organization. At other times, the team is designed to replace the hierarchy.

Several roles help to keep a team operating smoothly.
