is usually lacking in project specifics. Being encouraged to share the findings with the members
of the staff excites workers and encourages awareness about both people and departments.
Working together helps workers draw on their colleagues' talents. While innovative
thinking may be the asset, a co-worker can shine in organisation and preparation. Do not forget
to leave the expertise with the colleagues. Corroding with their team members also gives us a

3. Suitable example
Team work is essential skill for the individuals and most of the organizations take it more
seriously because it helps in improving individual efficiency as well as effectiveness. For
example: company make a group of 10 people and provide them specific goals which they have
to achieve within 10 days (Hunt, 2018). Among the entire team members, there are team leader
required who manage the entire team members and provide them proper directions to achieve
common goals. Every participant of the team is contributing and each advisor is playing through
their own abilities. More clearly, people are connecting with each other through regular
communication. They brainstorm and often agree on everything after discussing with each
other. In fact, they work on other industry networks. This necessitates that human’s focus on
what they are creating, since more than one team can use it. Manager has responsibility to guild
their each tem members and makes sure that all are following common goals & objectives.
3. Who benefits
Team work is beneficial for all such as for managers, for organization and for staff. It is one
of the most effective skills that is beneficial for all and helps in improving overall efficiency.
Benefits of teamwork for individuals:
 Variability: Team structures give exposed to diverse viewpoints. When the workers are
introduced to different approaches and solutions, they discover new ways to solve a
problem (McGregor, Mercer and Harris, 2018).
 Better organizational skills: By engaging and participating in collaboration, workers
learn to respond openly and efficiently to their team members in order to consider their
points of view and complaints. A member needs to express his or her opinions and
concerns appropriately to everyone to make sure individuals are cared for or resolved.
Members seek sincere positive input from one another and improve interpretation,
negotiating and other leadership skills related to that.

 Analytical reasoning and Evaluation Skills: members of the team should often use
skills to assess the complicated situations of group project goals and to establish feasible
strategy and plans.
Benefits of teamwork for organization:
 Increase workplace productivity: While everyone else has organized teams
it will eliminate the problems, waste and errors by erasing variation in the work system
by connecting people together to find solutions with the work-system. Deleting
variability in the system of work generates a more productive system. Teams maintain
that the research proceeds by creating 'redundancy of pieces' in the absence of a
individual 'part.'
 Lower cost structure of management: The obligation to solve work - related problems
has become collective by having a team, so there is less a need of external oversight. This
decreased the need for external control because it may result in decreased number of
hierarchical levels.
