Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
Wearing the same shirts doesn’t make you a team.
The goal is not to have a team, but to increase productivity and employee satisfaction.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

What about organizations today?
We used to think that we knew how to run organizations. Now we know better. They need to be global and local…small but big…centralized and decentralized. They expect workers to be … autonomous and more of a team, managers to be more delegating and more controlling.
–CB Handy, The Age of Paradox

A small number of people (5-9, optimally)Complementary skills (diversity a plus)Common purpose (starts with a mission)Performance goals (establish, track, meet, evaluate)Common approach (agreement about work style,
rules)Mutual accountability (not the boss but ourselves)

Results: the students speak
My overall experience with my team has been very positive. We have not only helped each other become better communicators, but have also become friends outside of class.
I definitely gained the most in this class though the interactions and work with my team members. You have to rely on your teammates.
As a team member, I learned to trust other members. Without this mutual trust, group work would be impossible.

I learned how to contribute to my team according to my strengths while allowing others to contribute with their strengths.
In this group, my personal goal was to let the group organize as a team and not always jump in and take charge -- it really made a difference in the team experience.
It is natural for me to be the leader of whatever group I am in. But I wanted my teammates to assert themselves so we could get their ideas.
We taught each other and offered insight for improvement.
