The quality and complexityof team processes and level of team member effort directly affect the quality of their projectoutput [12-15]. Project achievement impacts team member motivation to invest effort in the team[16]. Team culture that exhibits respectful social interactions is also important to gainingengagement of team members in the team’s work [17-18].Katzenbach and Smith [2] (p. 113) summarize requirements of a good team as one that has: (a)shared leadership roles, (b) individual and mutual accountability, (c) specific team purpose thatthe team itself delivers, (d) collective work products, (e) active problem
