At a basic level a team is a group of individuals with a common cause. Historically we have tended to train individually or in professional silos; the risk here is that we are making a ‘team of experts’ rather than an ‘expert team’. Often within healthcare our teams form at short notice and may arrive at different times. Much emphasis has previously been given to the role of the leader, but a leader cannot be a team on his or her own. Emphasis needs to be given to developing the other team members, the active followers. A good leader will be able to swap from the role of leader to follower as more senior staff arrive and agree to take over.
