Chapter 8 Teams

Project teams are teams which help coordinate the successful completion of a particular project (pg. 236). Every semester fraternities and sororities have a two and a half week period where potential new members are recruited. In my fraternity we elect two people to organize events for this two week period. They set up bbq's, pass out flyers, give house tours, and are responsible for getting new members. They also have a committee which helps them with all aspects of recruitment. In total around eight guys are responsible are entrusted with this particular project. This is an example of project teams.

  1. Teams can be very useful when setting up event like this. That is why they should be used in many organizations. When creating the teams however you should watch out who you put in them. If you ass someone to the team who is not going to do the work then it will add stress to all of the other teammates. It would have been easier not to have that person on the team in the first place then to have them slack off when the work needs to get done.
