Define team process, and differentiate between process gain and process loss.

What will be an ideal response?


Team process refers to the different types of communication, activities, and interactions that occur within teams that contribute to their ultimate end goals. Getting more from the team than you would expect according to the capabilities of its individual members refers to process gain. When you get from teams "more than the sum of their parts," the teams seem to benefit from process gain. On the other hand, when you get from teams "less than the sum of their parts," the teams seem to suffer from process loss. Factors that cause process loss include coordination loss and motivational loss.
