Do You Really Need a Team?
2001
Teams can address many business challenges, replacing individual effort with group strength. They enable some companies to take giant leaps forward, becoming faster, more innovative, and more responsive to markets and customers. But teams are not always the best way to meet a business challenge. Teams are expensive and hard to launch, and leading a team is a full-time job. Before you launch a team to meet the tasks your organization has placed before you, consider whether or not you really need a team to get results.
