Resources: Team members must feel that the resources, strategies and support needed to
accomplish the stated mission are available. Robbins (1998) affirms that teams need access to
resources such as money, time, equipment, technology, people and information for them to operate effectively. Providing the resources depends on trust on the part of the organisation and
responsibility on the part of the team members. Brower (1995) adds that as obtains for authority,
resources should not, and cannot, be unlimited and should therefore be given to employees
gradually.
