One factor that impacts positively on team effectiveness is the notion of team cohesiveness. Team cohesiveness is the key to enabling a diverse group of individuals to work towards common goals. Mathieu et al. (2014) note that the right mix of people sets the stage for a team to be effective, resulting in improved performance quality and innovation. BJB Minerals’ project teams were established on an opt-in basis based on the idealistic model, where members were encouraged by the clear goals and knowledge of the skill sets needed (Berlin et al. 2012). The project assigned to the team was also well resourced, with clear timelines and an end date (BJB Minerals 2014). This idealistic team model validated the diverse skills that individuals brought to the team, celebrating both personal satisfaction as well as the team’s project achievements.
