Facilitate Groups have a tendency to get bogged down with trivial issues. Teams use facilitators to keep the team on the right path. While members of a group are centered upon themselves, the team is committed to open communication. Team members feel they can state their opinions, thoughts, and feelings without fear. Listening is considered as important as speaking.
Differences of opinion is valued and methods of managing conflict are understood.
Through honest and caring feedback, members are aware of their strengths and weakness as team members. There is an atmosphere of trust and acceptance and a sense of community. Flexibility Most groups are extremely rigid. Teams, however maintain a high level of flexibility, and they perform different task and maintenance functions as needed. The responsibility for team development and leadership is shared.
