However, members of the IT department must be well-versed in even the 'soft skill' attributes of the business, such as the typical demographics of customers and the overall mission of the enterprise. IT staff cannot dismiss marketing, advertising, and other aspects of the business it may need to support.

Team Process Selection: Setting SMART goals and avoiding social loafing For the purpose of this paper, I agreed to volunteer on a local committee designed to reduce childhood obesity in our immediate area.

Teams Analysis of Self-Managed Work Teams The autonomy of work teams has increasingly become a necessity in many enterprises who rely on a depth of expertise, experience and wealth of knowledge that their knowledge-rich employees provide (Roper, Phillips, 2007). Given how complex, diverse and deep specific areas of expertise are in the core functional areas of any business, it isn't possible for a single manager or leader to have an expert-level command
