Abstract

Why are some teams better than others — and in particular why do some teams never appear to be successful, no matter how good their membership or how strong their collective will to succeed? While teamwork and team approaches are often enthusiastically promoted and embraced by principals in schools, we need only a limited experience with teams to appreciate that "collaborative situations are also full of contradictions, competition, and conflicts" (Lipponen 2002, p. 76).
