Teamwork & Team Building
For most of us, teamwork is a part of everyday life. Whether it’s at home, in the community, or at work, we are often expected to be a functional part of a performing team. Having a strong team will benefit any organization and will lead to more successes than not.
What is a Team?
The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines a team as a number of persons associated together in work or activity. Teams are formed for many purposes: project teams, ad-hoc teams, quality improvement teams, and task forces.
Teams can be temporary, or indefinite. When individuals share responsibility, the group as a whole can take advantage of the collective talent, knowledge, and experience of each team member to maximize their potential.
Team building is an organized effort to improve team effectiveness.
