Hi, Eunice:)

I love your starting point, that we abuse the term "Team".   We can now add "Team" . to a short list of other abused and misused terms, such as "Leader", "Coach", "Engagement",and so on.

When people use a term such as "team" imprecisely or without really having a distinct idea of what they mean, it should not be surprising that employees sometimes stop taking the use of the term seriously.   Piles upon piles of unused and unloved, but expensively printed T-shirts which heralded one or another corporate initiative bear silent witness to this:).

I have nothing to offer as additional markers for teams.  Your list is thoughtful, comprehensive, and clear.  Each of these could easily be a blog post (or even a series) in itself.

Thanks for a strong addition to the move toward intentional and effective leadership:)

John
