TEAM WORK
Teamwork involves two or more individuals working interdependently toward a common goal. An effective team has 6-10 knowledgeable members from relevant departments, a clear purpose, mutual trust and support, communication, and conflict resolution. The benefits of good teamwork include realized goals through collaboration, support and encouragement, communication, problem solving, minimal conflicts, and high productivity. Characteristics of effective teams are a clear goal, focus on results, plan for achieving the goal, clear roles, commitment, competence, consensus-based decisions, diversity, interpersonal skills, relationships, empowerment, excellence, support, openness, self-assessment, and shared leadership.
