In Summary of Teamwork

Wikipedia defines Teamwork as the collaborative effort of a group to achieve a common goal or to complete a task in the most effective and efficient way.[1][2] This concept is seen within the greater framework of a team, which is a group of interdependent individuals who work together towards a common goal.

Teamwork is crucial in relationships, teams, and business. You can apply essential elements of teamwork in all three situations regardless of how different each scenario might be.

To have a successful team these Four Characteristics are key:

  1. Strong Leadership
  2. Common Goals
  3. Diversity
  4. Trust

“Teamwork comes naturally to humans as a whole, but that doesn’t always mean it’s easy for individuals to work with others. Some people, particularly those who prefer to work on their own, may feel out of place in a group or get frustrated by common teamwork pitfalls. To maximize teamwork, it’s important that all teammates share the same goals and are committed to an overall vision. Often it takes just one person not pulling their weight—or defying the group’s goals—to derail the efforts of everyone else on the team.” Source
