What is a team? (According to wikipedia)
A team comprises a group of people or animals linked in a common
purpose.
A group in itself does not necessarily constitute a team. Teams
normally have members with complementary skills and generate
synergy through a coordinated effort which allows each member to
maximize his/her strengths and minimize his/her weaknesses.
Team members need to learn how to help one another, help other
team members realize their true potential, and create an
environment that allows everyone to go beyond their limitations.
A team becomes more than just a collection of people when a strong
sense of mutual commitment creates synergy, thus generating
performance greater than the sum of the performance of its
individual members.
