However, it can be identified that there are several instances where teams tend to be failed. When there is no proper direction and the guidance for the team while not having proper roles for the team members. Moreover, when the team is dominated by few people, team collaboration tend to get declined. Employee lack of communication among the team,  less effectiveness of the leadership as well as lack of focus of team member progression would be considered as key reasons for the team failures. Moreover, lack of rationality of decision making within the team also affects the effectiveness of the team (Scully, 2020).

Therefore, following process needs to be followed when developing the team (hugo.team, 2022).
