Fostering teamwork is creating a work culture that values collaboration. In a teamwork environment, people understand and believe that thinking, planning, decisions and actions are better when done cooperatively. People recognize, and even assimilate, the belief that “none of us is as good as all of us.” (High Five)
It’s hard to find work places that exemplify teamwork. In America, our institutions such as schools, our family structures, and our pastimes emphasize winning, being the best, and coming out on top. Workers are rarely raised in environments that emphasize true teamwork and collaboration.
Organizations are working on valuing diverse people, ideas, backgrounds, and experiences. We have miles to go before valuing teams and teamwork will be the norm.
You can, however, create a teamwork culture by doing just a few things right. Admittedly, they’re the hard things, but with commitment and appreciation for the value, you can create an overall sense of teamwork in your organization.
Create a Culture of Teamwork
To make teamwork happen, these powerful actions must occur.
Executive leaders communicate the clear expectation that teamwork and collaboration are expected. No one completely owns a work area or process all by himself. People who own work processes and positions are open and receptive to ideas and input from others on the team.
Executives model teamwork in their interaction with each other and the rest of the organization. They maintain teamwork even when things are going wrong and the temptation is to slip back into former team unfriendly behavior.
The organization members talk about and identify the value of a teamwork culture. If values are formally written and shared, teamwork is one of the key five or six.
Teamwork is rewarded and recognized. The lone ranger, even if she is an excellent producer, is valued less than the person who achieves results with others in teamwork. Compensation, bonuses, and rewards depend on collaborative practices as much as individual contribution and achievement.
Important stories and folklore that people discuss within the company emphasize teamwork. (Remember the year the capsule team reduced scrap by 20 percent?) People who “do well” and are promoted within the company are team players.
The performance management system places emphasis and value on teamwork. Often 360 degree feedback is integrated within the system.
Tips for Team Building
Do you immediately picture your group off at a resort playing games or hanging from ropes when you think of team building? Traditionally, many organizations approached team building this way. Then, they wondered why that wonderful sense of teamwork, experienced at the retreat or seminar, failed to impact long term beliefs and actions back at work.
I’m not averse to retreats, planning sessions, seminars and team building activities – in fact I lead them - but they have to be part of a larger teamwork effort. You will not build teamwork by “retreating” as a group for a couple of days each year. Think of team building as something you do every single day.
Form teams to solve real work issues and to improve real work processes. Provide training in systematic methods so the team expends its energy on the project, not on figuring out how to work together as a team to approach it.
Hold department meetings to review projects and progress, to obtain broad input, and to coordinate shared work processes. If team members are not getting along, examine the work processes they mutually own. The problem is not usually the personalities of the team members. It’s the fact that the team members often haven’t agreed on how they will deliver a product or a service or the steps required to get something done.
Build fun and shared occasions into the organization’s agenda. Hold pot luck lunches; take the team to a sporting event. Sponsor dinners at a local restaurant. Go hiking or to an amusement park. Hold a monthly company meeting. Sponsor sports teams and encourage cheering team fans.
Use ice breakers and teamwork exercises at meetings. I worked with an organization that held a weekly staff meeting. Participants took turns bringing a “fun” ice breaker to the meeting. These activities were limited to ten minutes, but they helped participants laugh together and get to know each other – a small investment in a big time sense of team.
Celebrate team successes publicly. Buy everyone the same t-shirt or hat. Put team member names in a drawing for company merchandise and gift certificates. You are limited in teamwork only by your imagination.
Take care of the hard issues above and do the types of teamwork activities listed here. You’ll be amazed at the progress you will make in creating a teamwork culture, a culture that enables individuals to contribute more than they ever thought possible - together.

Introduction:
As people said, many hands make light work. Whatever duty you are doing, teamwork should not be neglected. Just like only an ant, it is impossible for him to move a piece of pork which he has found. So, it needs many ants to take the food and move it home. As same, teamwork is also very important for people in living and working. But is the teamwork perfect? Of course not. In this report, I will tell you what are the advantages and disadvantages are to help you know more about teamwork.
1. The advantages of teamwork
1.1 Teamwork can gather more useful information
For each team, the first work will always be search the information. This work may be very important to help the teamwork succeed. So, the more information the team get, the more possible the team will succeed. As people said many hands make light work. When a team work together to gather the information, it is sure that the information be more than which is gathered by just one person. On the other hand, people in the team have different backgrounds, they think from different sides, then, the information can include all the aspects.
1.2 Teamwork makes people put things into their right perspective
Every person always looks the things subjectively. This usually blocks things’ objectivity and may lead to the failure. While the more people discuss one thing, the less subjectivity the thing has. Then the higher possible the thing will succeed.
1.3 Teamwork makes people take things into consideration comprehensively
Because of some reasons, everyone consider things incomprehensively. However, teamwork may be perfect. Because every teamer has different background, different education, different experience, different ideas… they consider things from different sides, everything may be taken into consideration, and every detail could be pay attention to. Then, after people take things into consideration comprehensively, is there any work that could not be successes?
1.4 Different people play the different roles
In the world, there are no two people who are exactly the same. And different people are good at different things. Some people are good at communicating with others, some people are good at accounting, some people are good at planning… In a team, there need different persons with ability. When the different persons with ability are in the same team which means different people play the different roles, and they can work together harmoniously, the team will be best and the teamwork of this team will also be finished perfectly.
1.5 Teamwork could strong the responsibility of the teamer
Many people could always leave something unfinished. It is a kind of lacking responsibility. However, when one teamer would stop a case, he should think about the others in the team. Because every teamer in the team makes his effects to the case, and hope it can finished perfect. If one teamer stops, the case may unfinished, then all the effects the teamers make will be wasted. Could he meet the failure of the team which is just because him? I think everyone who has a little responsibility will follow though the case. After a period of time, the teamer would have more responsibility to make the teamwork finished perfectly.
2. The disadvantages of teamwork
2.1 Different cultures may make teamwork bad
There are too many cultures in the world. Just in China, there are 56 nations and in each nation may still have different cultures. Even in different families there may also have different culture. So, there must have persons who have different cultures. If the teamers don’t deal with the problem of culture, the teamwork will be bad. Different cultures make people have different living and working styles, these styles may have clash, and the environment will not be harmonious, and then leads to quarrels between the teamers. At that time, could you think they can finish the teamwork perfectly?
2.2 Different individuality may make teamwork bad
Sometimes, individuality may be good; it can create new things and make you showing yourself. But in a team, over individuality is a bad thing. It may make the work never to come to an agreement. If everyone or just several teamers are individual, they will all think their ideas should be the best one, and would not follow others’ ideas. Then the teamwork will be in mad and the teamwork will never be finished perfectly.
2.3 Teamwork may increase people’s inertia
In a team, there many people. When one teamer has a little inertia, he can think the work would be done by someone at sometime even I don’t do it, or there so many persons why I should do this rather than Jack does. Then maybe he would leave the work to others even it is his work. And if every teamer has the same consideration, the teamwork will never be finished. While, this will never happen when one person must finish one work.
2.4 One person who has no responsibility could destroy the teamwork
Teamwork needs people with responsibility though many people have no. If there is a teamer with no responsibility, the situation will be bad. You can think everyone in the in team finish their work except the irresponsible man, then even though most work has finished but it still not finish just because one person. What is worse, when the work of the irresponsible man is very important for the teamwork, the teamwork will be destroyed even others do perfectly.
2.5 Not share the information liberally to the teamers will affect the quality of the teamwork
Everyone has more or less selfishness, everyone wants himself to be the better than any one else. Selfishness could be understood, but it should be control by oneself in a team if they want teamwork could finish perfectly. Selfishness is another disadvantage for the teamwork. Due to the selfishness, the teamers could put away some information, and then the information will not be all ready, what’s more, some important information will never meet with teamers. At last, the teamwork may be finished, but it will sure not to be better than the one which based on whole information.
3. Conclusion:
Teamwork is more and more important in the world and then the advantages and disadvantages will be more patency. If you pay attention to your behavior, you can find the advantages work well; the disadvantages would also be overcome. Then you can work with your teamers more harmoniously, the environment will be better, and the teamwork will also be better and better.

Teamwork is a joint action by two or more people or a group, in which each person contributes with different skills and Express his or her individual interests and opinions to the unity and efficiency of the group in order to achieve common goals.
This does not mean that the individual is no longer important; however, it does mean that effective and efficient teamwork goes beyond individual accomplishments. The most effective teamwork is produced when all the individuals involved harmonize their contributions and work towards a common goal.
In order for teamwork to succeed one must be a teamplayer. A teamplayer is one who subordinates personal aspirations and works in a coordinated effort with other members of a group, or team, in striving for a common goal. Businesses and other organizations often go to the effort of coordinating team building events in an attempt to get people to work as a team rather than as individuals.
The forming-storming-norming-performing model takes the team through four stages of team development and maps quite well on to many project management life cycle models, such as initiation - definition - planning - realisation.
As teams grow larger, the skills and methods that people require grow as more ideas are expressed freely. Managers must use these to create or maintain a spirit of teamwork change. The intimacy of a small group is lost, and the opportunity for misinformation and disruptive rumors grows.
