What Is A
Team? to Webster's Ninth Edition:
According
“A team is a number of persons
associated together in work or activity: as
a group on one side (as in football or
debate).”
In other words, when one person cannot accomplish a
job alone and several individuals must cooperate to
fulfill a mission, you need a team. The better the
cooperation, communication, and coordination among
team members, the more efficient the team.
