  5. TEAM DEFINED A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO MAKE DIFFERENT CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF COMMON GOAL

  6. TEAM WORK The purpose of an organisation is to achieve overall effectiveness, not just the effective performance of individual groups. We must all strive to do well individually, yet always with a focus on the overall needs of the organisation.

  7. TEAM WORK Everybody, according to Tolstoy, wants to change humanity- but nobody wants to change himself or herself. We must find ways to compliment and support others, not blame one another for our difficulties

  8. TEAM WORK Anyone can dedicate himself or herself to long hours, hard work and individual effectiveness- and feel good about his or her contribution. The true issue, however is the extent to which we contribute to the goals and results of the organisation as a whole.

  9. TEAM WORK Management must recognise people’s tendency to identify with groups and the extent to which they quickly develop small group loyalties. One of the management’s key challenges, therefore , is to help broaden the scope of vision beyond the interest of the individual unit, department or division.

  10. TEAM WORK • We will never be better as a company than we are to each other. As we look beyond our conveniently narrow horizons, we should ask continually how we can be of help, and we should never implement a change without previously reviewing it with others who might be affected by the change

  11. TEAM WORK Opportunities to help one another , person to person, department to department, are all around us. They are amazingly easy to find out, if we keep watching for them and make a habit of asking people in other departments how they are doing- and how we can be of help.

  12. TEAMWORK Real teamwork can be so gratifying that it may be considered a reward enough. Nevertheless, the individual who habitually communicates, cooperates and collaborates with others will be recognised by his or her associates as an invaluable asset.

  13. TEAM WORK Knowledge of where the organisation is headed, what each individual’s general role is in the overall endeavour and what specific objectives particular groups are expected to to achieve is extremely important. For optimal success of the organisation, however, a spirit of teamwork is absolutely essential.
