Team work can be described as the effort as the combined effort as taken up by a team to
achieve a common objective or to work in the most effective manner. A team is largely described
as the group of different individuals who work together and are largely dependent on one another
for the common achievement of the goal. The teamwork needs to be effective in nature and they
should ensure that all resources are utilized effectively (Maxwell, 2013). The team work concept
