INTRODUCTION
Teams bring together people with different ideas and perspectives to solve difficult problems. Contribution of some disciplines or organizations is required to solve social and economic problems. Teams help in bringing these people from different areas together to work on a particular problem.
According to Katzenbach and Smith a team is a group of small number of people with complementary skills who are assigned to a common task for a purpose of performing goals and approach for which they hold themselves responsible. However, putting together people in group does not assure either satisfaction or performance. Teams, such as those at Cisco work at very high standards and their level of achievement is also high, they are noticeably successful and achieve more than expected, whereas other teams fail wasting time and opportunity. The differences performances such as meeting business targets or satisfying members reflect how the teams have been managed. Diversity of backgrounds which makes teams valuable can also make it hard for a team to work. Creating teams is just the start towards achieving goals, it is then up to the members to learn how to work collaboratively together to reach targets. (Boddy, 2008)
