In today’s corporate environment, most companies are focusing on creating a workforce comprised of people that work well together. Teamwork has become a popular means of accomplishing goals. Most companies subscribe to the belief that “teams are most often considered to be a viable means to increase the capacity of an organization to deal with changing demands, and are introduced with the objective of improving the effectiveness of the organization, as well as the quality of working life for employees.” (Molleman) There is one question that begs to be answered- are these teams truly successful in accomplishing their tasks? This paper will focus on elements that when combined, lead to successful self managed teams. The paper is based on an article written by Eric Molleman titled: Modalities of self-managing teams- The “must”, “may”, “can” and “will” of local decision making. The focus will be on teams that are self managed, meaning the team has the ability to determine what they are capable of accomplishing and how they are going to reach their potential. Molleman points out that many authors believe that most successful teams are self managed and have the ability to make decisions on a local level.
