True teamwork is the rarest, most exhilarating, and most productive human activity possible. Every business wants to harness this incredible energy, but achieving such a level of motivation and cooperation is not always easy. Teamwork happens quickly and naturally when: 1) everyone on the team knows what needs to be done (they share a common vision), 2) they have the skills and ability to do it, 3) there are no barriers to prevent them from doing it, and 4) they are willing to work together to get it done. A team is not just people who work at the same time in the same place. A real team is a group of very different individuals who share a commitment to working together to achieve common goals. Most likely they are not all equal in experience, talent or education, but they are equal in one vitally important way, their commitment to the good of the organization. Any group of people - your family, your workplace or your community - gets the best results by working as a team.
