WHAT IS A TEAM?
A team is a group of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals and an approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable and interdependent.

A common purpose ensures stability through change and a means of overriding the potentially conflicting agendas of bureaucracy. Performance goals help a team transform its common purpose into specific and measurable aims.
