What is Good about Teamwork?

         Great people who work together as a team creates magic! Okay, this may sound a little exaggerated but sometimes it's true.

Creativity thrives when people work together in a team. Unique perspectives coming from each team member during a brainstorming session creates more effective selling solutions. What we have learnt by doing solo assignments compared to the experience gained during group projects is different. Teamwork creates enthusiasm for learning which solitory work usually lacks.

Teamwork has the power to teach us conflict resolution skills. Conflicts inevitably happen when you put together a group of unique people. In our careers in the future, we are meant to meet colleagues from various backgrounds with different working habits and styles. Even if the noteworthy opinions and suggestions may lead to the success of an assignment, a resentment might also be generated which can quickly turn into a conflict. The team members are then forced to resolve the conflicts themselves instead of turning to management. Learning conflict resolution firsthand is a skill that employees can use to become efficient officers down the road.

Another good thing about teamwork is that it encourages healthy risk-taking. A person working solo on a project would probably not want to stick their neck out for an off-the-wall idea. It's because of the fear of failing as the employee would have to take the full brunt of the blame. As much as we do not get full credit for a successful team project, working with other people spreads out the responsibility of a failed project. In a nutshell, teamwork gives the opportunity to the members to think outside the box.

I am sure I have actually awaken a little if not a lot, of the teamwork spirit within each and everyone of you reading this article. If not, treat yourself to watch a Bollywood teamwork themed movie starring Shah Rukh Khan, also known as King Khan as the lead actor which is seen completely in a different avatar from his usual romantic role.
