Team Work ~ The Solution?

A team is defined as a group of people collaborating together to achieve some predefined goals with a high grade of efficiency and effectiveness which would not be accomplished otherwise i.e. by working individually.

A very commonly used elaboration of the term TEAM is "Together Everyone Achieves More". That means the sum total of volume & quality of individual output is less than the collective team output contributed by same number of people working for the same goal.

A lot of researches suggested the result in favor of the above conclusion and the 21st century management philosophy are highly aligned towards team working for better productivity.

Responsibility

"Responsibility = Response + Ability"

Your ability to response to a particular job task is your responsibility

In other word, if you are able to accomplish the assigned task, then you are responsible for that.

Vision - Mission - Goal

"Vision is the mental picture of future "

"When we dream alone, it is a dream but When we dream together, it is the beginning of reality"

Vision will shape your missions & goals.

Vision will keep you alive or dead.

Develop your vision based on your knowledge and experience

Working Together ~ Accepting failures

"If one is not a part of the solution, Definitely he or she will be the part of the problem"

"Failure should be our teacher Not our undertaker"

"Failure is delay not defeat"

Accept failure professionally, analyse failure professionally.

    you are correct. If one person was allocated a particular project, it could take months and maybe years to make it finished. By splitting up the project, work can move forward in parallel and the ultimate goal achieved faster. nice article
