2.  Definition of Teamwork
 Teamwork is a set of actions done by a group having a common purpose or goal. Teamwork is generally
fulfilled under a collaborative environment since there is the assumption that working together
produces a better outcome than making separated efforts.
 Teamwork
 A work team is defined by Kozlowski and Bell as “a collective of two or more individuals that performs
organizationally relevant tasks, shares one or more common goals, interacts, exhibits task
interdependencies, manages boundaries, and is embedded in a broader organizational context.”
What Does Teamwork Mean?
 In companies, teamwork usually occurs when several employees provide their competences,
knowledge and professional experience to achieve a shared objective. A plan is generally made at the
beginning to set responsibilities and tasks to each member as well as resources and timelines. Ideally,
there is a leader that coordinates the activities, facilitate conflict resolution and maintain people
properly aligned to the plan.

3.  Teams work toward common goals that are understood and accepted by all team members. Teams
work together to achieve long-term goals and objectives. Team members must work openly and
honestly with each other toward a common purpose. Team members must collaborate with each other.
Disagreement is expected. Listening to others and offering ideas is essential. To build an effective team,
the CSM must operate in a collaborative way. Working with team members, the CSM and security
managers must first identify the purpose of the team and its objective. The team itself should identify
issues and problems and work together to develop and implement strategy. Effective teams will
improve the performance of your organization.
 The benefits of team building in the workplace
Teamwork is essential because it maintains an enjoyable work environment
 Teamwork builds strong employee relationships because the more employees work close to each other,
the more they get to know each other and develop a liking for each other. The more they work
together, the more they learn and learn to live with each other’s likes, dislikes, strengths, and
weaknesses. When they work together for a long time, the team naturally becomes more collaborative,
and this leads to a more enjoyable work environment for everyone. A pleasant work environment leads
to higher productivity, and this helps organizations realize their goals quickly.
WHAT IS A TEAM?
 A team is a group of people who work together toward a common goal. Teams have defined
membership (which can be either large or small) and a set of activities to take part in. People on a team
collaborate on sets of related tasks that are required to achieve an objective. Each member is
responsible for contributing to the team, but the group as a whole is responsible for the team's success.

4. #1: Functional Teams
Functional teams are permanent and include members of the same department with different
responsibilities. A manager is responsible for everything and everyone reports to them. This is the typical
top-down management approach that you’ll see in most organisations. Across all organisational teams, it’s
important to prioritise workplace culture; the foundations of which are communication and trust.
To take your functional team to the next level, consider running a program in-house to improve
communication by giving your team the tools to give feedback without causing offense. Additionally, it may
be worthwhile getting clear on each individual teams’ goals, identity and preferred support methods to boost
productivity and individual employee engagement.

5.  #2: Cross-Functional Teams
 Cross-functional teams are made up of individuals from various departments. These teams tackle
specific tasks that require different inputs and expertise. This can happen when various teams need to
work on a project together to get the best outcome. This can be a difficult dynamic to navigate if teams
have been operating in a ‘silo’ approach up until the point of collaboration. It’s crucial that the different
personalities and perspectives are embraced, and that everyone in the cross-functional team are
working to their strengths.

6.  #3: Self-Managed Teams
 Generally, individuals in self-managed teams are employees of the same organisation who work
together. Even though they may have a wide array of objectives, their aim is to reach a common goal.
They operate without managers and are relatively autonomous, sharing responsibility and leadership.
High-performing teams can often fall into this category.
 People working in startups or small businesses may also find themselves in this type of team dynamic. It
can be difficult for people who have worked in other types of teams for most of their career to adjust to
this way of working, so there will likely be an adjustment period of sorts. It’s crucial that self-managed
teams know how to deliver feedback and have tough conversations with tact. Without high levels of
communication, trust, autonomy and mutual respect, self-managed teams will find it difficult to thrive.

7.  #4: Virtual Teams
 Virtual teams are made up of individuals who work in different physical locations and who use
technology and collaboration tools to achieve a common goal.
 With more employees looking for work from home opportunities, virtual teams will become much more
common in the future of work. You may even have a few remote team members in your organisation
right now who need to collaborate within a functional or cross-functional team.
 It’s important for virtual team members to be involved from a cultural perspective within your
organisation. Having face to face video calls and giving your team members the opportunity to connect
on a personal relationship level will help to improve rapport and moral. We’ve already shared a bunch
of info on creating a strong remote team culture, so give that a look when you have a moment.

8.  1. Cooperation
 The motivational drivers of teamwork. In essence, this is the attitudes, beliefs, and feelings of the team
that drive behavioral action.
Collective efficacy
 is an important component of cooperation to target. In order to ensure its development, we
recommend the cultivating of collective efficacy through promoting “early wins.”
 2. Conflict
 The perceived incompatibilities in the interests, beliefs, or views held by one or more team members.
 3. Coordination
 The enactment of behavioral and cognitive mechanisms necessary to perform a task and transform
team resources into outcomes.

9. 4. Communication
 A reciprocal process of team members’ sending and receiving information that forms and re-forms a
team’s attitudes, behaviors, and cognitions.
 5.Coaching
 The enactment of leadership behaviors to establish goals and set direction that leads to the successful
 accomplishment of these goals.
 6. Cognition
 A shared understanding among team members that is developed as a result of team member
interactions including knowledge of roles and responsibilities; team mission objectives and norms; and
familiarity with teammate knowledge, skills and abilities.

10.  7. Composition
 The individual factors relevant to team performance; what constitutes a good team member; what is
the best configuration of team member knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs); and what role diversity
plays in team effectiveness.
 8. Context
 Situational characteristics or events that influence the occurrence and meaning of behavior, as well as
the manner and degree to which various factors impact team outcomes.
 9. Culture
 Assumptions about humans’ relationships with each other and their environment that are shared
among an identifiable group of people (e.g., team, organization, nation) and manifest in individuals’
values, beliefs, norms for social behavior, and artifacts.

11.  1. Teamwork increased work efficiency
 Statistics show that employees who work as a team accomplish tasks faster and much more efficiently
than those who work individually. Working as a team on different assignments minimizes workloads for
all employees by sharing ideas and responsibilities. Employees, especially salespeople, have a lot of
pressure to meet sales goals in a shorter time scale. Teamwork is important because it enables your
team to share ideas and responsibilities, which helps reduce stress on everyone, allowing them to be
meticulous and thorough when completing tasks. This will enable them to meet sales goals quickly.
 2. Teamwork increases learning opportunities
 Employees in an organization differ in terms of the level of work experience, expertise, and skills they
possess. Collaboration enables these employees to interact with each other in a project. This
interaction is a great learning opportunity for new employees because they can acquire skills they
didn’t have from more experienced employees. Also, more experienced employees can get fresh and
innovative ideas from new employees. Also, the importance of teamwork in business is that it allows
new and more experienced employees to challenge each other’s ideas and ways of doing things to
come up with an agreeable, effective solution that helps employees complete the tasks at hand.

12.  3. Teamwork leads to increased accountability
 Employees who work individually are likely to experience low morale and be less accountable. With
teamwork, no member wants to let others down, and therefore confidence is maintained. Also, working
as a team makes every employee accountable, especially if they are working with experienced,
respected employees who have a reputation for hard work and accountability. Organizations can
benefit significantly from teamwork because employees will complete projects ahead of the deadline
due to increased productivity and efficiency.
