• improved decision-making rests on seeing beneath the surface
the pressures that influence the team

• calmness creates interdependence within the team and with
the leader

• avoid team flight into abstractions
• aim for consensus (only where possible)
• assess team view of authority to see how processes/decisions
are being affected by it.
vii) Teams within teams

• watch out for hostility, communication failure and mistrust as
signs of team fragmentation

• develop teamwork between teams as well as within them
• winning can be as destructive to teams as losing, if not worse,
unless both outcomes are handled well
• be aware of teams within teams and act accordingly to regain
cohesiveness or sub-divide.
