Description:
Self-directed work teams represent an approach to organizational design that goes beyond quality circles or ad hoc problem-solving teams. These teams are natural work groups that work together to perform a function or produce a product or service.
However, making the shift from a traditional hierarchical organization into a team structure is not simple, nor easy. Proper planning, preparation and education are needed to make empowered, self-directed work teams successful.
But, the results are well worth it. Studies have shown that self-directed teams are more effective than Quality Circles and Total Quality Management in generating high performance from employees. Self-directed teams result in:
gains in productivity and quality,
greater commitment from employees,
better, more innovative solutions to problems,
increased likelihood of implementing decisions.
