Team Roles

The video tutorial explores the concept of team roles within organizations, categorizing them into task roles, social roles, and boundary spanning roles. Task roles include contractors, creators, contributors, completers, and critics, each with specific functions in task completion. Social roles focus on team interaction, with cooperators, communicators, and calibrators ensuring smooth collaboration. Boundary spanning roles, such as console and coordinator, manage communication between the team and the larger organization. These roles collectively ensure effective teamwork and organizational alignment.
