This document discusses the importance of teamwork. It defines teamwork as people working together to achieve more than what can be accomplished individually. Teamwork is needed for problem solving, communication, cohesion, and learning. It is important across organizations to produce better work, increase morale, and improve retention. Both team leaders and team players have important roles to play - leaders provide motivation and understand strengths/weaknesses while players communicate well, listen actively, cooperate and commit to the team. For organizations to succeed, they must set clear goals, define plans, engage employees and execute strategies to achieve increased and sustainable results.
