Despite having high levels of education and skills, a group of university teachers might not be able to function effectively as a team. This research aimed to: 1) examine teachers’ opinions on their team development, 2) explore selected cases of success and failure in teamwork, and 3) present possible guidelines for effective team building at both the program and university levels. The research included a survey of opinions from 50 teachers and semi-structured interviews with 6 of them from three different teams. The results showed that around 40% had never received any training in teamwork. Although most preferred to use a collaborative approach when dealing with personal conflicts within the team, about half still expressed a desire to remove certain members. It is suggested that individual teachers, teams, and the university management recognize the importance of teamwork at the program level and work together to create more effective and healthier team dynamics.
