Teamwork and working in teams have become staple phrases in organizations. Moreover, both terms (teams and teamwork) have an aura of “that's the way things should be done.” This presentation seeks to address some issues surrounding teams and teamwork. The underlying premise is that a team is a particular way of organizing in order to achieve a specific task. Not all tasks require teams . Teams and teamwork, therefore, are not an end in themselves but rather a means to a specific end . I posit there is no “intrinsic” value in teams and teamwork.
