CEVAP:

Katzenbach and Smith assert that a team should have a small size and must contain four elements:

• Common commitment and purpose – team members do not perform as individuals but as a powerful unit of collective performance with a purpose they can believe in.

• Performance goals – a common purpose is translated into specific and measurable performance goals which help define work products, facilitates clear communications and maintains focus.

• Complementary skills – a team should develop the right mix of skills or the complementary skills necessary to do the team’s job.

• Mutual accountability – a team must hold itself accountable as a team.
