Essential Question • What are the different types of teams and what are the roles and responsibilities of team members?
Types of Teams • There are seven different types of teams. Task Force Problem Solving Team Competitive Team Committee Group Work Quality Circle Work Team
Task Force • A task force is a team that has come together to investigate a specific issue or problem. • This type of team is generally temporary and disbands after completing their investigation.
Problem Solving Team • A problem solving team is a team that is brought together to solve a specific problem. • This type of team is usually temporary and disbands after they have found a solution to the problem.
Competitive Teams • A competitive team is a team that is put in place with the goal of competing and winning a specific competition. • This type of team generally is temporary and disbands after completion of the competition.
Committee • A committee is a team that is brought together to act on a specific matter. • This type of team can be temporary or permanent depending on the matter they are acting on.
Group Work • A group work team is a team that receives direction from a designated leader. • This type of group is permanent as it continually carries out tasks given by the leader.
Quality Circle • A quality circle is a team made up of workers from the same occupation who meet regularly to discuss and solve work related problems. • This type of team is usually permanent and grows and changes as new workers are added and others retire.

Within a team there are three main positions that need to be filled. • Leader • Facilitator • Recorder
