TYPES OF TEAMS
Potential team: Potential teams abound in organizations. When a team (as opposed to a working group) approach makes sense, the performance impact can be high. The team involved is called Potential Team.

Real team: This is a small number of people with complementary skills who are equally committed to a common purpose, goals, and working approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.

Real teams are a basic unit of performance.

Formal team:

The Command team: which includes a manager and all employees who report to that manager.

The Committee, which generally lasts a long time and deals with recurrent problems and decisions
The Quality circle, teams meet for an hour weekly to discuss workrelated problems, investigate the causes, recommend solutions it makes a formal presentation to the plant management ad staff. Other forms: Task forces and Project management teams.

Informal Teams:
Emerge whenever people come together and interact regularly. Members of informal teams tend to subordinate some of their individual needs to those of the team as a whole

TEAM SIZE & COMPOSITION:

The optimal size (and composition) of teams is debated and will vary depending on the task at hand. At least one study of problem-solving in groups showed an optimal size of groups at four members. Other works estimate the optimal size between 5-12 members
IMPORTANCE OF TEAM:

Over 90% of the participants time is spent practicing- standardizing their routines or processes, identifying roles and responsibilities, improving communication effectiveness, working on their coordination, alignment or teamwork. The focus is learning from mistakes until they are ready to perform for the audience or fans.
