People bring a wide range of personalities, expectations, experience and knowledge to a team.
Americans raised to function as individuals, to respect and accept authority, and to expect increased wages based on seniority, do not adjust easily to the team concept and can hinder a team's effectiveness. Calling a group a team doesn't make it a team. Team building is used to strengthen a management team - something effective teams do on a regular basis to reinforce and strengthen relationships, clarify roles and responsibilities and clear up misunderstandings which may have occurred since the least session. Work with team members and management to establish desired skills. Guide team members in developing a plan to reach those levels.
