Compare and contrast a work group, team, and self-managing team in terms of power, leadership, decision making, and activities or tasks.
What will be an ideal response?
A work group is part of the organization’s hierarchy, controlled by a manager/supervisor, with authoritarian or consultative decision-making, and independent activities. In contrast, a team is linked to the organization’s hierarchy, with some shift of power to team; the leader has limited managerial power; decision-making is consultative, democratic, or by consensus; and activities are interdependent and coordinated by the team leader. Compared to the work group and team, the self-managing team has increasing use of power and independence, although it is still linked to the organization’s hierarchy. The self-managing team leader is selected by its members, and decision-making is democratic or by consensus. The activities or tasks are highly interdependent and coordinated by team members.
