Teamwork involves collaborative efforts of a team to achieve common goals efficiently. It is present in workplaces, sports, schools, and healthcare. Effective teamwork requires an adequate team size of 6-8 members, resources, and clearly defined roles. The importance of teamwork increased after World War II when organizations recognized its benefits from the Hawthorne studies. Teamwork improves efficiency, generates ideas, provides learning experiences, enhances communication, shares workloads, and creates support networks. Team dynamics describe how individual roles and behaviors impact the group. Leaders should understand team development phases, roles, define responsibilities, break down barriers, and focus on open communication to improve team dynamics.

Teamwork is the process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to
achieve a goal; this is a skill that is taught in the early stages of life as most people learn it when
they begin to play on a sports team. For example in athletics players work together as a team to
achieve one common goal, and through the process they learn how to work cohesively with each
other to have success. As you grow into adults this same skill of teamwork translates into the
workplace area, where you build new bonds that will lead to having success in a workplace.
Teamwork in a workplace area allows you to build new ideas with others to make information
more understanding. When communicating in a workplace, teamwork is the key because it
brings different point of views to the table, establishes better relationship between co-workers,
and helps to develop individual strength.
In a workplace area building a team is an effective way to have success. The reason a
team is so effective is because there are multiple people that brings different strengths to the
table. For example in baseball every player has different attributes they bring to the team, some
players bring speed to steal bases, some bring power to hit home run and some players bring
defense to catch balls but they are all contributing together to help the team achieve a goal,
which is to win. This is also how a team works in a workplace too, some people have effective
writing skills, some have creativity skills and some have leadership skill so if you put all these
skills together the workplace will strive.
3. 3
(Woodcock, n.d.)
Just like the chart above, it is like each outer box is a person with a different strength, putting all
these strengths together makes the workplace more powerful because with all of these skills, new
ideas can be made. With multiple brains communicating in a team, you also have the ability to
get several opinions when trying to come up with a new concept. The more opinions given by a
team benefits a workplace by having enhanced brainstorms for new ideas. The website says,
Effective communication allows a team to bring together different opinions and point of views
for brainstorming in a positive and healthy manner (“Infinite Growth,” 2015). Having a different
point of view is a big assistance in a team because whenever there is a problem it can be resolved
within a matter of time from the different perspectives you have in a team. In the article it states,
an effective team creates solutions that are manufactured from the many different perspectives of
4. 4
the individual group members. This helps to see a situation from several different angles, and can
create a solution that no one individual could create on his own (Root III, 2015).
In order for teamwork to function in a workplace area you have to build relationships
with your co-workers, they’re like your teammates. Just like in basketball, in order for a
basketball team to achieve the goal of winning games, they have to build a relationship with one
another to create good chemistry. For instances if you just put a basketball team on the court
without them knowing each other’s game, they would lose majority of the time but with practice
and building a relationship, it gives them a better chance perform. This relates to the workplace
area because just like in basketball good chemistry goes a long way because there’s a team
involved. Communicating and building a relationship in a workplace area has a huge effect on
teamwork because it creates a bond between people that builds trust. Just like the newsletter
says, when you trust your team and colleagues, you form a powerful bond that helps you work
and communicate more effectively. If you trust the people you work with, you can be open and
honest in your thoughts and actions, and you don't have to waste time and energy "watching your
back." (Mind tools, n.d.). Building a bond with your co-workers helps when working together
on a project because when you have a connection with them, it is easier to understand what
they’re trying to do when working on a project. When it’s easier to understand someone you’re
more comfortable around them and you can feed off each other’s ideas to come up with a more
developed suggestion. Being positive goes a long in having success in a workplace because if
you bring positive vibes into the workplace area it’s only going to give you back positive vibes
and that’s where the success comes from. According to the article, relationships are important in
business, whether you are talking about relationships with your customers, your team members,
or even yourself. By putting strategies in place to improve team building and intrapersonal
5. 5
relationships at work, you’ll not only enjoy a happier, healthier workplace but you might just see
a positive impact on the bottom line as well (Garfinkle, 2015).
The saying that says, “There’s no I in team” is very famous and true but in a workplace
that doesn’t mean that you won’t get better and gain more knowledge by using teamwork. In a
workplace, teamwork helps you develop individual strength by learning knowledge from others
and by competing with others. Developing individual strength is shown in a workplace area but
it’s also shown in football. The way you develop individual strength in football is when you
practice and compete with your teammates on a daily basis you get stronger and as you get
stronger, you learn new techniques and skill from your teammates that can help better yourself at
the game. This is the same thing in a workplace area, you work with others to learn new skills
and by communicating with them you gain knowledge to develop individual strength.
(BlogSpot, 2012)
6. 6
The image above is an example of how using teamwork allows you to gain individual strength,
co-workers better themselves by communicating with each other to give each other knowledge
and in a workplace area that’s a win win situation because you are developing individual strength
and contributing more to the workplace at the same time. As said in the article, when you
balance developing people’s strengths, with building good relationships and connections
between people, in the pursuit of challenging and meaningful team goals you are moving a long
way towards encouraging effective teamwork in the workplace (The happy manager, 2015).
Building individual strength from others is an example of how teamwork should be function
because if it gets to where knowledge is being spread throughout co-workers in a workplace that
means that the team is understanding each other. Like it says on the website, effectively
listening to the individuals in the group allows us to determine if everyone has the same
objective. For a team to succeed, the objective must be clear to everyone. If the objective is not
agreed upon by everyone on the team, it will not be efficient. (My interpersonal, 2013).
In a workplace area teamwork displays the way you work together as a group to achieve a
common goal. Throughout the process you will have to be positive to build a trustworthy
relationship, bring what you can to the table as in skills and you will also have to spread
knowledge throughout the team to help people grow and also to help people understand you
better. By doing this you’ll be able to see success in a workplace area which leads to a healthy
workplace area. The communication skill of having and showing teamwork is an effective skill
that builds support and teaches us how to strive for greatness in a workplace area. Teamwork is a
key point when it comes to communicating in a workplace, teamwork is taught to you as a kid
and it is a skill that you will always need because no matter how smart or how great you are
7. 7
when it comes down to a team verses an individual, a team will always go further by the multiple
minds working together to get the job done.
