A Real Team, on the other hand, is a small number of people (ideally 5 - 10) who take the risks of joint action and work product. They have specific goals and a common approach - for which they hold themselves individually and mutually accountable. Real Team members also possess complimentary skills - functional, problem solving and interpersonal. They are committed to a meaningful purpose - focused on performance. Their output is more than the sum of individual contributions.
