Shift in Team Dynamics
The nature of teams and teamwork has undergone significant changes, moving away from traditional models that emphasize smaller, co-located groups focused on singular tasks. Current environments often see individuals assigned to multiple teams simultaneously, leading to scattered attention and diluted focus on mission and goals. Survey results reveal that a notable percentage of teams now exceed ten members, with a large portion of interactions occurring in virtual or hybrid formats. This transformation necessitates a reevaluation of how teams are structured and managed, highlighting the need for new approaches to enhance collaboration and effectiveness.
