What Are the Keys to Teamwork?

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

Work teams are successful only with the right mix of skills, personalities and commitment to the team process. Employers benefit from work teams since they permit workers with different skill sets to collaborate toward one common goal. Employees can find a sense of camaraderie and motivation through team involvement if they are tapped to work with others who complement what they bring to the table.

Right People

Successful teamwork requires the right leader and the right mix of team members. Each individual should have an established role and be equipped with the specific skills to fulfill it. Once the team is up and running, members must build trust, and respect each other's place within the group. 

Clear Goal

Team members must have a clear objective and a shared commitment to the team goal. Without a specific outcome in mind, members may lose motivation to fulfill their parts of the project. Task planning is difficult because the direction is uncertain. In particular, when a team goal is consistent with the values of individual team members, camaraderie is enhanced since members share a vision for and desire to work toward the outcome.
