Team effectiveness
Team effectiveness is the extent to which a team achieves appropriate objectives through workable collaboration and can sustain its ability to perform. Clear goals, complementary capabilities, accountability, communication and suitable resources can support it. Harmony alone is insufficient, and constructive challenge may improve decisions.
Worked example
A service team meets quality and response-time targets while sharing workloads and resolving issues promptly. High output achieved by exhausting members and ignoring errors would give an incomplete picture of effectiveness.
Common mistake
Judging a team solely by friendliness, short-term output or the absence of disagreement.
