Teams have been in existence for centuries. The varieties of teams can range from sports teams to workplace teams, therefore, team development tactics and methods are not new and major breakthroughs have been made. McGrath (1984) discovered that applying task characteristics within the team will aid in the development of a dynamic and diverse team. As teams are developed they should be thought of as small cities. They are dynamic societies that will change with time (Salas, Kozlowski, & Chen, 2017). Another break though for team development is the usage of time. Teams will evolve and mature as changes start to arise. As leadership changes, so will the team dynamic. The study of time and cultural differences are essential if we must understand team development (Salas, Kozlowski, & Chen, 2017; Gland, Ere, Aydan, & Leung, 2017).
