EX. 

Sharing Workload

By being in a team you have the opportunity to share the workload amongst the rest of the team members. With the work being shared no one feels the burden of taking on the whole project.  A fair work distribution ensures that every person or every working unit executes the task at hand, with the best possible efficiency. The division of work, also, ensures that the work is done on time and deadlines are not extended.

Building Mutual Associations

By working together in teams you naturally build friendships and bond with your “coworkers”. This increases the desire to go to work to do your work. This also makes goals more attainable.

 

Training

To work together successfully, your team should be trained to recognize the value of accepting new ideas and and trusting opinions from all members. Acceptance creates respect and fosters collaboration among team members instead of competition. Teams learn to focus on what they can create together from different backgrounds, skill sets and personalities. One exercise to develop trust is to blindfold team members and have their partner guide them, with verbal instructions, through an obstacle course. Once they have developed trust and respect, the team can work together productively, solving problems on a project, providing feedback and offering suggestions for improvement.
