Importance of Teamwork at Work

Hi all. Found an excellent article that I am sure many will relate to. Hope you get something useful out of this...

Behind every great product is a great team. Like soccer teammates passing to one another to find the perfect shot, each teammate plays a specific, meaningful role. Teamwork at the workplace has been demonstrated to increase efficiency, improve communication, expedite idea generation, distribute workload, and establish a culture in which each employee feels a sense of belonging and empowerment. As Andrew Carnegie once noted, teamwork "is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results."

The Benefits of Teamwork

There is no greater weapon in a company's arsenal than a great team. When firing on all cylinders, effective teams have the ability to increase efficiency by taking on more complex tasks (think "two heads are better than one"), improve communication by facilitating open discussion and cooperation among team members, maximize output by leveraging each team member's strengths, provide opportunities for personal growth, and act as a support mechanism for staff.

Unsurprisingly, teamwork at the workplace has also shown to increase innovation and creativity by allowing team members to bring unique and distinct perspectives to the table. When leveraged, effective teamwork drives company growth and boosts performance and success by tapping into each individual's unique strengths and attributes.
