Some thoughts about TEAMs

From:

The Human Aspects of Project Management: Managing the Project Team, Volume Three by Vijay K. Verma

The word team is often used loosely, sometimes merely as a synonym for a group. Instead of handling an assignment as a project, management may appoint someone as a task leader to get that task done. The task leader may assemble a group of people, divide the task into subtasks and assign responsibilities to specific members of the group. The task leader may assume that he or she has assembled a team whereas in reality, it is simply a work group. There is a big difference between the group/work group and a team in terms of its dynamics, the roles of its members, their level of commitment, and authority and reporting relationships among its members.
