Team Building — Teamwork

Information on Teamwork

Teamwork is the process of people working together to meet common goals.
     Teamwork and cooperation, along with shared goals, are necessary but insufficient to teams truly self-directing. Self-Directing Teams require a structure that every member understands and that works for the organisation, and which optimises team interreliance, autonomy, and productivity.
     Teamwork requires pulling a group of diverse individuals together to work toward a common goal, often for extended periods. Most team members and leaders require training in group problem solving, decision making, and other collaborative and interaction skills.
