Abstract

Team development is the process through which a group is formed in order to achieve the goal of giving life to a successful project. Despite the skills of every member of the team, it is of great importance for it to reach high standards of teamwork and collaboration. There are different approaches and methods that can be implemented in forming a team and make it develop and work in a positive way. This article investigates the method that Drexler and Sibbet proposed. Following a process of seven consecutive steps, teams can work together, achieve their goals, and finally make a positive impact to the development of the company and the society itself in general. Each step matters and plays its role into transforming a group of good experts into a team that is setting goals and implementing a project, program or portfolio. Allan Drexler and David Sibbet suggested a team performance model with seven steps. Steps 1 to 4, describe the stages in creating a project team. Through steps 5 to 7, they analyze project team sustainability and performance.
