Teamwork

Teamwork is considered as a dynamic process involving two or more people with complementary or diverse backgrounds, personalities and skills, sharing common goals and exercising concerted effort in assessing, planning or evaluating objectives or purposes. These are accomplished through interdependent collaboration, open communication and shared decision-making and generate value-added customer, organizational and staff outcomes. In a team collaborative environment and mutual understanding is important. Better understanding of team work can make a person a more effective employee and give him or her extra edge in his or her own world.

Team
work means a joint activity by a group of people, in which each person subordinates his or her individual interests and opinions to the unity and efficiency of the group. It does not mean that the individual is no longer important; however, it means that effective and efficient teamwork goes beyond individual accomplishments. Where group members work independently and often do not work towards the same goal, the most effective teamwork does work towards personal and team goals and all the individuals involved harmonize their contributions and work towards a common goal.

So teamwork is actually a  means to-
  • Creating enthusiasms and initiatives to make things happen
  • Making sure everyone understands their roles and tasks
  • Supportive group atmosphere
  • Having people who can coordinate and accept responsibility
  • Taking a positive attitude to and learning from setbacks.
  • Being comfortable with disagreement and see it as useful
  • Delegating tasks to people with the right skills
  • using people with different skills, as example organizer,creative
  • Having clear and logical objectives
The ability of all members of the team to get along, day in and day out is vital to every team's success. Etiquette plays an important part in this process.If team members get on each others' nerves through inconsiderate behavior, communication gradually breaks down and vital energy gets diverted away from the team's real mission.
