TEAMWORK 
By: Shanniel Morgan
Definition of Teamwork 
This can be described as a 
technique used in organizations 
and groups to accomplish 
certain task.
Advantages of Teamwork 
Creative problem-solving from the inputs of 
individuals of the team. 
The pooling of resources, ideas and expertise. 
Greater control over the tasks assigned. 
Providing for continuity in the carrying out of 
tasks or projects. If a member leaves the team, the 
project continues.
Disadvantages of Teamwork 
It can take a lot of time to make decisions and 
complete tasks- this can happen due to different ideas 
or unsettled disagreement. 
Unwillingness to participate- a member of a team 
might have been given a part of the task to complete 
and did not complete it in the required time. 
Unequal Participation- With some teams, there can 
be a tendency for members to sit back and let others 
do most of the work. 
Not Team Players- some workers may not function 
well being a part of a team, preferring to work on 
their own.
