Types and characteristcs o teams
1. Small/Large Teams
Teams can be rganised in diferent ays t help them t c mplete the j b they have been
all cated.
In a team, size is an imp rtant oact r. This is because size can change the speed in hich a task can
be c mpleted. These teams, usually larger, have m re rkers t increase the t tal utput as ell as
increase pr ductvity. H ever, a smaller team may be suited t a changing envir nment due t
them quickly being able t change their task, keeping them m bile and able t adapt t changing
resp nsibilites.
In a team, the c rrect number o rkers is selected o r the task, h ever, this ill tend t be an
dd number t ensure there ill n t be an equal number o v tes p tentally ccurring. The team
must be sufcient size t ensure there are n mistakes made, h ever, it must all all rkers t
explain their vie s as ell as being m bile en ugh t be able t change the vie o the team
thr ugh ut the task.
In addit n, a task sh uld be small en ugh t be managed efciently, this is because a team o 5
uld be easier t manage than a team o 55, o r example.
An example o a small team is a badmint n d ubles team, here nly 2 players n each team are
present, hereas an example o a larger team is a cricket team, hich has 11 players n each team.
A diferent team size can benefit the business as a h le as ell as the individuals.
A smaller team may benefit ver a larger team o r the c mpany due t them n t having t empl y
the same number o rkers as in a larger team, saving them m ney. In addit n, a smaller team is
m re adaptable, helping the business t stay m bile in the oace o a changing market r task. In
addit n, in a smaller team, individual rkers ill be m re inclined t express their vie s, helping
the team t c rrectly all cate the individuals strength. Furtherm re, due t the all cat n being
m re suited t individual rkers, their efciency and pr ductvity is likely t be increased, as ell
as the individual enj ying the task m re than their previ us task, increasing their m tvat n as ell
as their pp rtunites t shine as individuals, sh ing their creatvity and rk initatve.
In c ntrast, a larger team may benefit due t them being able t rk t gether n a task,
significantly increasing p tental pr ductvity. In addit n, in large c mpanies there are less need o r
management p sit ns due t a team being larger than many smaller c mpanies.
In a larger team, due t the rkers being m re interc nnected, there ill be m re efcient
c mmunicat n ithin the team, rather than bet een several smaller teams, as ell as the larger
team helping each ther due t them all being acc untable, hereas smaller teams may atempt t
get ahead o their rivals, c mpr mising the task they have been all cated t c mplete.
