Teams have magic influence

I remembered a man who was an active researcher but he could not speak well in public and express his own ideas in groups. When he came to our team and started to be active in a buddy group on a job, he still had the problem. It was in the group that he practised to talk, and little by little, he dared to mention eloquently his viewpoints. This helped him to improve in talking while he contributed to the team as much as he could.  The buddy group was a very effective structure to help him to improve his communication skills.
This effect occurs in groups with a  less members because in their the communication, act and react can happen much more  in compare with big teams with more members. In small team members have a more time to do and practice and have trial and error.

"Team" is a magic word

"Team" is really a magic word. Even the mere use of the word “team” encourages the small gathering of people to work better. I have observed it many times in my experiences in working with different groups; when I have told them that “you are a team now”, they have become very happy and have got so much energy to continue their work. However, there is one important point to look into: the number of participants in a team. The less the number of the participants, the more the team is powerful.

This can especially be seen in teams composed of two persons where the manager decides to put a buddy group on a job, or even two persons (in a bigger team) themselves decides to be focused on a certain task together. The increased interaction with high level of feedback, and greater flexibility – especially when it is within a buddy group, promotes the work with higher speed, and in a qualified way. Such small teams are really magic.
