Teamwork : Co-operative work done by a team.

Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically;
it takes a great deal of hard work and compromises….

There are a number of  factors that must be in place to cohere together as a team and work seamlessly.

1. Good leadership: The team’s leader should possess the skills to create and maintain a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed.

2. Clear communication: Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s viewpoints.

3. Establishing roles: It is absolutely necessary for team members to understand what their role on the team is, what he/she is responsible for.

4. Conflict Resolution: Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to counter conflict is to have structured methods of conflict resolution. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that resolves them quickly is much better.

5. Set a good example: The team leader must set a good example for good teamwork to come about. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader herself/himself needs to exhibit these qualities.
