What is a team?

Over the years that I have been working as a management consultant and writing about management topics many ‘management’ fashions have come and gone. Some have had little effect on the thinking of managers but others have left their mark. In 1979 when I wrote Team Development Manual little had been written about the subject but since then more and more has been written and more and more managers have become alive to the possibilities of improved performance through effective Teamwork. Team development is now fashionable!
