2. What is Teamwork?
Teamwork is the art of collaborating
with others effectively and is vital in
most professions. It has to do both with
how different pieces of a larger puzzles
come together, with different workers
taking on different puzzle pieces,
Many people have different working
styles and if you are great at teamwork
you are able to interpret and adapt to
these, ensuring that you work well
together. www.lawofcompounding.net

3. The Importance of Teamwork

Stress Reduction- Working alone, especially on a difficult task,
often leads to feelings of isolation and an increase in stress. In a
team situation, other team members understand the specifics of
the task and offer an outlet for stress.
Improved Communication- Individuals in different departments
often develop an "us-vs-them" mentality about people working in
other areas of the business. This divisive mentality can lead to a
breakdown in communication. Building a team from diverse parts
of the business and setting a shared goal distinct from the team
members’ normal duties can reopen lines of communication.

Efficiency- Every person who works at a business brings
a set of strengths and a set of weaknesses to the table. In
businesses that do not employ team-based work,
employees may receive tasks for which they are poorly
suited and generate a weak final product. When a strong
culture of teamwork exists, effective leaders can
delegate tasks that play to individual strengths.
Improved Problem Solving- Even the most creative individual will
only generate a finite number of solutions to a problem. Just as
important, that individual’s professional experience and
educational background will limit the range of possible solutions.

5. Largely because teamwork skills have a dual benefit: a harmonious office
environment plus more effective work. Teams that gel well are far more
likely to impress clients, complete projects and seal deals. A company’s
reputation often rests on how competent the teams in it are perceived
to be.

and using body language, on both emotional and
intellectual levels, in a professional manner. Those
who are effective at communication:
▫ Are able to explain their ideas
▫ Listen to others carefully and not always with an
intent to reply
▫ Make efforts to express what their feelings are
without sounding threatening
▫ Try to sense or understand how others feel, based
on what they are saying or by their body language
▫ Ask questions whenever they want clarification or
are uncertain about something

8. Team members can show support
for one another in various ways:
congratulating others in moments
of achievement, or consoling in
more trying times. It helps to look
at other members of your team as
collaborators rather than
competitors. A huge part of
support is the ability to respect one
another.

skills entail a level of
wisdom and experience,
whereas others are based
on analytical prowess. In
all cases they are
concerned with the
capacity to assess a given
situation and arrive at a
positive outcome.

10. To ensure proper feedback is
given in the different
situations you are exposed to
with fellow employees, it’s
important to listen
attentively. Clarifying what
other team members mean,
and taking interest in their
problems, demonstrates that
you care about them and their
development.
