Team Environment - New and Old

In the last byte, we looked at the need for a work team. In today's byte, we look at how the context of team has evolved over time, but begin with defining teamwork itself.

Teamwork refers to the joint action a team of people in which individual interests are subordinated to team unity. This forms the core value of numerous high performing companies world over. Teams are also appropriate when knowledge, talent, skills and abilities are disbursed across organizational members and an integrated team effort is needed to establish the tasks - team work plays a crucial role here. In today's world the need for team work is ever increasing.
