Teamwork is important because it allows individuals to utilize their unique strengths for the good of the group goal. An effective team divides labor according to each member's talents, with the leader ensuring tasks are distributed optimally. Members should understand their own strengths and weaknesses so the leader can match abilities to roles. Finally, strong teams are unified behind a clearly defined, shared objective.
