Abstract

In order for cooperation to succeed, every team needs to be set up like a football team. In project management, this is done by means of role clarification. As a non-trivial system, people have to be able to partially give up being in control of themselves in this process and make their own interests and convictions subordinate to the common goals. In this chapter, the authors Jürg Kuster, Christian Bachmann, Mike Hubmann, Robert Lippmann, and Patrick Schneider deal with fundamental aspects of teams and groups and the inner dynamics that can unfold during project work. The focus lies on procedures facilitating successful role clarification, on how the principles of positive psychology can have an effect on a team, and what the characteristics of a high-performance team are. The chapter concludes by describing change and resistance as well as by taking a comprehensive in-depth look at conflict management and crises. The topics are structured according to their relevance for the agile and the traditional approach.
