PY - 2014 T2 - Understanding Teamwork in Health Care AB - In Chapters 6 and 7, we cover the characteristics of effective teams and the competencies that team members need in order to contribute to making their teams effective. In this chapter we explain the leadership of teams, including the methods used to choose team leaders, the leader's role, and the competencies needed by a team leader. The subsequent 3 chapters provide more detail on team functions that are important for all team members but have special importance for team leaders because they oversee these functions or handle them directly. Chapter 9 describes decision making in teams; Chapter 10 deals with fostering creativity; and Chapter 11 explains managing conflict.
