"Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success. "
Dictionary defines teamwork as the actions of individuals, brought together for a common purpose or goal, which subordinate the needs of the individual to the needs of the group. In essence, each person on the team puts aside his or her individual needs to work towards the larger group objective. The interactions among the members and the work they complete is called teamwork. Many management gurus define teamwork as a group of individuals passionately committed to their end goal. When groups have common goals, teamwork is essential to success. Teachers expect teamwork among students and provide them with group projects so that they can learn teamwork skills. Employers expect individuals to function effectively on various teams and most organizations convene teams to tackle problems or projects. Therefore, it's important to learn teamwork skills, even if you prefer to work independently.
Teamwork Skills
What does teamwork look like in action? First, group members focus on the goal. People put aside personal likes and dislikes and petty grievances to get the job done. Team members show passion for the project and each contributes to its success.
Skills necessary for good teamwork include:
Respect for individual contributions
Putting aside individual glory
Consensus building
Clear communication
Persuasive speech
Compromise
Define Teamwork during a Job Interview
A common practice among human resources professionals and managers is to ask job seekers to define teamwork. Ways to define teamwork for a prospective employer include:
Describe a time when you and your colleagues were so passionate about a project, you voluntarily stayed late and worked long hours to achieve the goal.
Provide examples of successfully completed projects that may have been less successful or more difficult if handled individually, rather than through teamwork.
If you're a recent college graduate and don't have work experience to cite, use examples from your college classes, teams or clubs. Youtube Orchestra
