Abstract
The team concept in school administration has been receiving attention and lip service in many school districts throughout the United States and, to a lesser degree, in Australia. In 1971 the AASA published a book on the team concept. The major ideas have been expounded in both the United States and Australia for the past decade under titles such as “democratic administration”, “group decision‐making”, “Theory Y”, “Blake‐Mouton 9,9 style” and “Organization Development”. A university study team found a situation in a Michigan school district which, if it is typical, as seems likely, indicates that some administrators may try to introduce the team concept and implement it with MBO without either concept being understood by “team” members. This single‐district study resulted in some generalized conclusions, an evaluative‐instrument form, and some forms for reporting data that may be of practical help to anyone who would like to implement the administrative team concept. This article may help other persons to obviate difficulties, administrator disappointment and staff disillusion.
