    About the video programme

    Forming an effective team-based structure is the best and most rewarding way for people to work together, ensuring that team members are motivated, satisfied, productive and flexible. Businesses that use this model are more responsive to change and perform better than traditional hierarchies.

    Through a combination of drama and documentary, this programme effectively illustrates how team working avoids duplication of effort and allows members to share knowledge and experience.

    Comprising of two programmes, the first looks at what it really means to work as part of a team and the second focuses on the relationship between two team members, and how to analyse and resolve conflict. The programmes show that managing and participating in a team involves more than merely bringing people together and following instructions.
