Since the early 1900s, numerous paradigms have demonstrated the importance of teams in achieving organizational results. The resulting fields—including organizational development, group dynamics, sociotechnical systems design, and quality management—have intertwined and separated several times over the decades.
Teams today may have different labels (e.g., high-performance teams, self-directed teams, Lean Enterprise teams, or Six Sigma teams), but they each build on that rich history. All of the fields listed above have reached similar conclusions about what it takes for teams to be successful, such as focusing reward and recognition systems on team efforts instead of on individual accomplishments.
