In order to thrive in today's competitive environment organizations often use teams to improve quality, develop new products, increase productivity, improve processes, implement changes, solve critical issues or problems, maintain regulations and achieve cost reductions. However, in order for teams to be effective in their mission, they must be able to quickly solve complex problems and produce outcomes. Specifically, organizations need to have team members and leaders that are skilled at:

· understanding what makes teams successful.
· chartering high performance teams.
· linking team values with organizational values.
· fostering a positive attitude among team members.
· making decisions with team members.
· utilizing teams to improve processes and solve problems.
· diagnosing team problems and handling conflict among team members.
· integrating new members or committees into the team.
· assessing and monitoring the team's skills and outcomes.
· Identifying and clarifying individual roles on teams.
· revitalizing existing teams (such as improvement teams or audit teams).
· rewarding team efforts.
