Types of teams

Independent and interdependent teams

A rugby union scrum
Of particular importance is the concept of different types of teams. A bright line is usually drawn between "independent" and "interdependent" teams. To continue the sports team example, a rugby team is clearly an interdependent team:
.
  • no significant task can be accomplished without the help of any of the members;
  • within that team members typically specialize in different tasks (running the ball, goal kicking & scrum feeding), and
  • the success of every individual is inextricably bound to the success of the whole team.^ There’s no set list of things that every person can do and accomplish all of their goals.

On the other hand, a chess team is a classic example of an independent team:

  • whether one player wins or loses has no direct effect on the performance of the next player.^ Let them worry about the next designer who comes along promising to do the same shitty work one hour faster for one dollar less.
