Task • This is the need to accomplish something. The task is the purpose of the group. It is seen as a thing rather than as people.
Group • This refers to the maintenance of the group, it maintains working relationships between members in order that the group can accomplish its task. • This refers to people and how they relate to each other.
Individual • This looks at the needs of the individual members of the group, why they are part of the group, consider motivation.
Cohesion - influenced by • Physical proximity - If people work closely together they tend to form a group. • Length of time together - If a number of people are together for a length of time, the longer they are together the more they will work together as a team. • Similar work - Those carrying out the same sort of work are able to assist and help each other thus forming a bond.
Homogeneity - People work better together if they share such characteristics as, race, age, sex, social status etc. • Communication - It is important that members can communicate with each other. • Size - Small groups of under 15 members are more likely to develop cohesion than larger groups.

Reviewing • Why we exist, what are we here for? • What or who would be affected if we went out of existence? • Are there more cost-effective ways our purpose and aim could be achieved than having this team? • Has there been a significant change in our mission as a team. • Have we perceived or been given, new responsibilities? • Are we still the right people to be tackling this work? • Does it still need a team effort?
Debrief • Was the goal clear? • Was the plan clear? • Was the plan workable? • Was the plan flexible? • Did everyone know what they were supposed to be doing? • Did everyone do their part? • Did everyone work together? • What skills or knowledge was lacking?
