Description

A group should work as a team, but one team member doesn t show up at meetings, another is doing all the work of the others, and nobody in the team dares to give critical feedback. Usually these problems are handled by a supervisor. What if the team worked as a community-led team, without a supervisor?

Working in a community-led team challenges the team members to grow as people and to take responsibility for the whole group. The key word here is communication.

This book presents the model of a community-led team, which can help a team to learn step by step to work without a supervisor, and to further develop the team s previous working methods.

“With the help of this model, we started to understand what teamwork is about. We lacked many of the basics, and therefore we couldn t cooperate in a natural way around work tasks. By focusing on the right matters, we fixed the team s internal communication, and we are able to react quickly to changing situations.”
