Working as a team increases theperformance of each individual and fastens the speed of growth of an organisation.

Working in team increases the performance of each andevery individual. In order to diffuse the responsibilities in a project based approach that companyfollows these days it is being given in a group (Belbin, 2012).

Team work helps in achieving tasks on time as it helps to understand each other abilitiesand divide work accordingly.It helps individual in their learning process as they learn from one another hence it helpsin increasing the morale of the employees.It helps in increasing mutual understanding, cohesion within the team mates and henceincreasing the chances of appreciating each other ideas. This can be perfectly illustratedin any sports team where they do not have enough time to think about a strategy but havea mutual understanding on what can be done in particular situations (Ellis and Bach,2015). This helps them in performing well.Many companies have inculcated this methodology in their working culture. Ford in the20th century with their assembly line approach had set a perfect example of how working in teamcan increase the production and profitability of the firm. Working alone can increase the chancesof implementing restricted approach towards solving a desired approach. Workingcollaboratively promotes shared ownership, responsibility and issue related to confidentiality likecopying each other contents etc.From my own experience of working in a college's event organising team, I saw howteam work helped us in managing events perfectly that too within the desired time frame. Ithelped me in understanding the complexities that are associated with the event organisations likecommunicate effectively, manage the resources that our college have, how to transferinformation at various levels regarding the status of task achieved.In an Cultural event at my College, it was the head coordinator of that event. Using theTuckman and Belbin theories i have gone through several stages. First I formed a team of 50members then divided them into small groups. They were then assigned different responsibilitieslike some members are for managing food or accommodation of participants, some are fortransportation, few of them were assigned to give technical assistance to performance etc. Madethe rules regarding flow of information between several teams. I played a role of overallcoordinator, where I maintained the coordination between these teams. Fulfilling the requirementof members where ever they needed. Some I took the role of leading a particular team wheneverthey needed it. Clarified all doubts that arisen at the time of event like solving query about thetransportation timings.2
