Supervisory approach
Traditionally, teams are organised based on classification and position.
Often there is a pre-existing structure of teams.
Team structures
Collegial approach
Teams are structured outside of the supervisory approach. Leadership is distributed among team members.
Collaborative thought is given to the way teams are structured.
