Definition Self-Directed Team. Description.
A Self-Directed Team is a small group of employees
who are empowered to
manage themselves and the work they do on a day-to-day basis. The members
of such a team are usually responsible for designing/defining, managing and
carrying out a whole process, product or service.
Some people make a difference between Self-direction and Self-managing,
in which a Self-Managed Team is a group of people working together
in their own ways toward a common goal which is defined outside the team,
and a Self-Directed Team is a group of people working together in their
own ways toward a common goal which the team defines.
Also called: Autonomous Work Group, Self-Directing Teams
