The Basics of Teamwork
Learn about teamwork and its importance in achieving common goals.
Collaboration
"If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
- African proverb
Any avenue that requires a group of people to achieve a common goal requires teamwork, the collaborative effort of each individual to achieve an expected result. Collaboration introduces harmony into the workplace; it promotes unity and support between coworkers by exchanging knowledge and ideas. Team members share their creativity while brainstorming how to achieve a set goal or solve problems.
An essential goal to aim for is making a diverse team a winning team as well. The culture of winning must be ingrained in the group.
When a team can work together, it can solve daunting challenges with relative ease because there is mutual support and trust from its members. Therefore, it is a win-win situation for both the team and the manager, thus also reflecting on the effectiveness of the manager.
