WHAT IS TEAMWORK

Teamwork can is the ability of team members to work together, communicate effectively, anticipate and meet each other's demands, and inspire confidence, resulting in a coordinated collective action. It also means a sense of unity, of enthusiasm for common interests and responsibilities as developed among a group of persons.
Another way to explain teamwork, is to see it on the basis of division of labour, each parts having a function but working together for a better good.

WHY TEAMWORK DO WE NEED TEAM WORK

It is that every thriving business or organization has teamwork at the core of productivity, Steve Jobs of Apple Inc. wouldn't have been the founder of the company, but if he hadn’t had a great team working together to see that idea Steve Jobs had to blossom into world known brand and company. The same goes for Bill Gates, Tony Elumelu, etc.

MERIT OF TEAMWORK

1. It enables prompt sharing of idea’s and responsibilities.
   Successful communication that leads to effective teamwork.

It begins with a company-wide willingness to share and listen. When employees feel that their opinions are valued, they're likely to contribute to team efforts where their unique perspectives make a difference.

Listening and respect should be valued at all levels in the organization, starting with top management and reaching into the way each department is run.

2.Teamwork creates learning opportunities, Team has more ideas while doing the work in the organization because everyone has different thinking from others.

If there is only one thing to think by all of them with the difference in the thinking all have their different point of view to think about that one thing. Imagine you have a workforce of 10 designers all working in separate rooms.

Each designer works to their own strengths and suffers from their own weaknesses, with nobody to teach or learn from.
Now put them all in the same room, on the same project. Working together, they’ll soon learn each other’s strengths and correct each other’s mistakes. And everyone’s performance will improve.

1. Teamwork can create healthy competition
   But what happens to that same team of 10 designers a year down the line, when they’ve learnt all they can from each other? They’ll soon start to compete with one another, to prove their ability and chase promotion or other incentives within your organisation. Provided the right challenge and rewards are in place to promote competition, team performance can keep improving.

1. Teamwork promotes strong working relationships, When employees work together and succeed as a team, they form bonds that can turn into trust and friendship. It’s human nature. And it’s great for your organisation, since employees who like and trust each other are more likely to:
   • Communicate well with each other
   • Support and motivate each other
   • Work cooperatively

Like i said earlier team work is very crucial in whatever we are doing or whatever we want to achieve.

In conclusion, let’s remember TEAM means;
T –Together
E-Everyone
A-Achieve
M-More
