Critical Team Development and Intervention Tips for Project

  In her book The Making of a Manager, Julie Zhuo pointed out a team would come together when "a group of people working in unison... Done well, it ceases to be about you or me, one individual or another. Instead, you feel the energy of dozens of hearts and minds directed toward a shared purpose, guided by shared value." Unlike to the traditional organizational structure, Spotify provides a good example of exceptional team design to improve its effectiveness. Known as "The Spotify Model," technical staff are arranged into small, autonomous, cross-functional Squads, each with five to nine people. Several squads in the similar areas are collected into a Tribe. All people, who have the same responsibilities in separate Squads, are gathered in a group called a Chapter. And Guilds allows their employers to gather according to their interests, tools, knowledge, etc. http://wayswework.io/features/spotify-how-the-team-designs-holistic-experiences-for-music-listeners-andcreators (Links to an external site.)
