Benefits of teamwork in a workplace envirorment

The Importance of Working Together as a Team

One of the major benefits of teamwork is getting things done in less time if all the members contribute to their part. When leaders involve their teams to brainstorm together to find a solution, they will get many different and creative ideas. This effort will enable them to implement the best action plan and assign the tasks to the people involved. When everyone in the team knows that he has a part in the process and the end result, he will put in the efforts to get it completed. 

 I know this from a personal experience being part of my school's basketball team throughout middle school and high school. In sports you can't do everything yourself. You need your teammates. Everyone has their own position to play.

Teamwork helps individuals raise their self-esteem. Everyone wants to feel important and needed. When each person is aware of his role and that he is part of a team, he gets a sense of belonging. He will use his talents and creativity to do his best. 

Teamwork promotes unity, rapport and bonding. When people work together, they are able to give and take, help and support one another because the main focus is to accomplish their mission. If you have been part of a school team, you will know what I am referring to.

Here is a Short Youtube video of ant demonstrating the power of teamwork. By itself , One ant can only go so far without needing help from the other ants.
