A common form of team training is called team building which can be viewed as an effort to unify varied individual’s energies, direct these energies at varied goals and outputs, and link these efforts to organizational results. Team building usually refers to a collection of techniques that build trust, cohesiveness, and a mutual sense of responsibility that make for an effective team. 

Team effectiveness has been proven through some different variables, the most important being structure. Team members have to understand and commit to the team goals. Team roles need to be clearly defined and team norms need to be in place. Team spirit is important because it gives them confidence in their ability to be effective while the team members invest energy for the team. Social support also needs to be present to allow team members to interact positively and support one another. Work load should be divided equally among the members. The last variable is communication which is being done constantly by members giving and receiving information. Communication is also key in solving conflicts. However, conflicts can be beneficial for the team by leading to more innovation and can be used to further the team’s goals.
