The Importance of Teamwork

Good evening peopleeeee....
So, on this fine evening, I would like to share with you guys about one teamwork story. It was 6 months ago, I attended this leadership camp. This camp was only for rank holders and it was held at this one hotel, Melaka Central Hotel, if im not mistaken. So, we did this one activity called "walking on the masking tape". This activity is very simple, all they need to have is one group consisting of 6 people and a masking tape. The instruction is very simple, they need to start from a starting point and finish at the finishing point and the masking tape cannot be cut or parted. So they need to make sure that the tape is in good condition and they need to work with each other as a team. We were given 2 minutes to prepare. Most of the groups were prepared as they discussed the plan thoroughly but none of the groups managed to do it except one group. We were shocked because they could do it. Then the person in charge explained that it was not because of their body size or whatsoever, it's because of teamwork. Everything is possible if you guys are working together as a team. So that is one of the things that i have learnt from the camp.

As you can see, teamwork is very important. So today, I would like to share with you guys about the importance of teamwork. The first one would be it motivates unity in the workplace environment. As for me, working environment is very important because it promotes an atmosphere that fosters friendship and family. You know this kind of bond is really good because you can work in harmony and peace. Therefore, work done or workload can be decreased because of the atmosphere.

Next thing is that it offers different perspectives and feedback. So, as we all know this thing is a good thing. For example we are working in one place and Im sure that all of us are coming from different states, nationalities, beliefs and so on. These things would not separate us. Why did I simply say it? Because when we are not the same, we can have a brainstorm session which in turn increases their success to solve problems and arrive with conclusions for any other matters. From this also, sharing of experiences among colleagues would enhance the decision making and so on. This would make people wiser, and can enhance their critical thinking skills. We must admit that not everyone is having the same brain like us, all we need to do is to accept people's opinion and learn how to work together as a team.

The next importance of teamwork is it improves efficiency and productivity. When working as a team, the pressure of having tremendous amount of workload can be reduced. How it can be done? By sharing the workload with the peers and this would improve the efficiency compared to working alone. Teamwork is also important because it can improve the productivity of the organization or the company.

The last importance of teamwork is to promote workplace synergy. So what do you guys really understand about synergy? Synergy is the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. How to make sure that this thing can be achieved? They need to have mutual support, shared goals, encouragement and cooperation. With this, team members are able to feel a greater accomplishment, are collectively responsible for outcomes achieved and feed the individuals with the incentive to perform at higher levels.
