This study examines volunteer community change teams and factors that may contribute to their resilience and ability to accomplish their planned objectives. Little research has examined community change teams and factors associated with their performance. Using previous studies within the organizational development and community psychology literature, a community change team construct is created to improve our understanding of factors that may enhance a community change team's effectiveness in contributing to planned change initiatives in place-based settings. Four construct considerations (i.e., readiness for change, commitment to action, diverse team composition, and supportive environment for sustained success) are identified as positive elements for a community change team's efforts.

520 $a This study examines volunteer community change teams and factors that may contribute to their resilience and ability to accomplish their planned objectives. Little research has examined community change teams and factors associated with their performance. Using previous studies within the organizational development and community psychology literature, a community change team construct is created to improve our understanding of factors that may enhance a community change team's effectiveness in contributing to planned change initiatives in place-based settings. Four construct considerations (i.e., readiness for change, commitment to action, diverse team composition, and supportive environment for sustained success) are identified as positive elements for a community change team's efforts.
520 $a A research study involving eight community change teams engaged in a three-year planned change initiative explores three questions regarding volunteer community change teams. First, can the facilitative interventions of an external community coach influence the team leader's adoption of a consensus leadership model for decision making? Secondly, can positive team dynamics contribute to greater team performance and enhance the volunteer team resilience? Thirdly, can new social networks formed through social bridging in a planned change initiative produce positive spillover effects? A review of previous research on effective teams, leadership, and social bridging is used to develop frameworks for the analysis.
520 $a A content analysis of interviews with team leaders, team members, the community coach, and the program coordinator, and recorded team meetings, was conducted. The results of the data analysis reveal that an external community coach had a positive influence on many of the community change teams' adoption of a consensus leadership decision-making approach. Further, the research suggests that elements of positive team dynamics contribute to a local change team's ability to remain functioning, i.e., continue to actively work towards the team's objectives. The research offers little empirical support of team resilience being strengthened through social bridging.
520 $a Finally, the paper examines the three separate constructs presented in each chapter to explore similarities when considering team performance and resilience. When viewed collectively three observations emerge. First, "readiness" extends beyond a community's readiness to accept change to include the volunteer team's readiness to lead and implement the change process. Devoting adequate time to team building, forging a common vision and goals, and establishing agreed-upon governance procedures is important. Secondly, a commitment to action is rooted in open communications and trust among team members. Teams that exhibited high levels of trust among its members performed better. Lastly, those teams that took a broader, institutional view of both their team membership and activities were more successful.
