Name: All rivers run into one (reflecting the unity of the team and the persistence of water) slogan: Heaven goes into the ground, and we are United (water turns into clouds, then heaven goes into the ground, and then it turns into rain, then it seeps into the ground). A team is a * * * body composed of grassroots and managers. It makes rational use of the knowledge and skills of each member to work together, solve problems and achieve the same goal. The elements of a team are summarized as 5P, namely, goal, people, orientation, authority and plan. There are some fundamental differences between teams and groups, and groups can transition to teams. Generally speaking, teams can be divided into five types according to the purpose of existence and the degree of autonomy: problem-solving teams, self-management teams, multi-functional teams, * * teams with the same goal, and active tacit teams. There are as many textbooks as there are explanations about the team. Here, a team is defined as: a team is an equivalent body composed of employees and management.

Robbins, a management scientist, believes that a team is an organization composed of two or more individuals who interact and depend on each other. They are bound together according to certain rules for specific goals. Team characteristics 1, the team is goal-oriented. This team is based on cooperation. 3. Teams need the same norms and methods. 4. Team members complement each other in technology or skills. According to the purpose and degree of autonomy of the team, the team can be divided into four types: 1, problem-solving team 2, self-management team 3, multi-functional team 4 and virtual team. The power of the leader in the team is related to the development stage of the team. Generally speaking, the more mature the team, the less power the leader has, and the leadership is relatively concentrated in the early stage of team development. Two aspects of team authority: (1) What decision-making power does the whole team have in the organization? For example, financial decision-making power, personnel decision-making power and information decision-making power. (2) the basic characteristics of the organization, such as the size of the organization, whether there are enough teams, how the organization authorizes the team, and what kind of business it is.
