Potential Team A group where there could be an existing performance need or opportunity that requires a team but there has not been a focus on collective performance. Interaction between member detract from each individuals’ contribution. Pseudo Team Working Group A group where no performance need or opportunity exists that requires a team. Members interact to share information but have specific areas of responsibility and little mutual accountability. Katzenbach and Smith
