I think teamwork is very important especially in todays very demanding and stressful global economy. You have to be able to pool your ideas and attributes together to complete a unified goal. Its like the old saying goes "two heads are better than one".

I think Bruce said it best, "two heads ARE better than one." We live in a world that is inter-dependant on one-another; whether it's in the global economy, the office, school, or just day-to-day living. I may come across as a hypocrite, I haven't guite been the "Team Mate" myself lately, but when we all put our heads together, we can come up with a solution to any problems that may come our way.

Teamwork is an essential part of most jobs and workforces. I'm a freelancer, but I still rely heavily on mentors who teach me about things I don't understand, or on people I outsource to who write codes, design graphics, etc. When I write, I rely on feedback from proofreaders and editors to pare down my writing to the most succinct, essential parts without drowning the reader in over-writing. Even in non-professional settings, teamwork is invaluable. Without my family pitching in and accepting some responsibilities around the house I wouldn't even be able to come to school. There's simply no way to get around working as a team. If you tried to do everything on your own, you'd fail because everything we do relies on someone, somewhere shouldering a bit of the work to enable us to perform the work we need to do.

Teamwork is important in many different ways. It always seems to be easier to get things done when you have more than one person doing the work. It helps give a better thought as well, when having another point of view its easier to spot a problem or prevent a potiential hazard.

well i think teamwork is important in anything and everything you do. no matter what job you have there is always others that you need to work with. it may be a team if individuals working to complete a task or a group of individuals that have seperate skills that need to complete a task. if you can't work with others than the job at hand may never get complete. even if it did it may not be to a high quality standard.

I enjoy working as a team when you have a responsible group of people working for one goal. It is important for people to come into a group project with different ideas, that way you can expand on one idea. My favorite group project to this date was my senior yearbook, I was editer in chief and the team created a yearbook that was nominated for national awards. Anyways, enough of memory lane. Team work is a great thing!

Team work is important in everyday life. Some jobs are individual jobs and some jobs you need assistance with. Some jobs are just too big for one person..then people mess up trying to handle it on there on....its called team work people...

Teamwork is very essential in many aspects of our life though we may not realize it so clearly. At our jobs, we work in departments that overall have key goals that together with other departments run that organization. Teamwork requires that each member complete their tasks on time and accurately so that others can build on it and together it produces an overall job. In our daily lives, in our households, each member of the family has an assigned job that when put together with everyone’s brings the household together and makes the family work. It is very important to have good person skills and good communication for teamwork to be a success.

Teamwork is the concept of people working together cooperatively. It is an important factor in most organizations. The advantage of teamwork is that the work is split into equal parts and reduces the workload. Another advantage to teamwork is that more ideas are presented and the more information obtained the better the job.

I think that team work is very important beacuse it can help you reach a different point of view that you probably didnt think about.

Teamwork is awesome it lightens the work load off of one person to various persons and you just get to meet new people in your job and social life

I think with teamwork there is no job too big or small when everyone lends a hand.Whether its on the job, at school, raising a family or cleaning teamwork gets the job done faster and more efficiently.

as they always say. there is no "I" in team. one person cant do it all. the caveman days of men working and the ladies staying home with di kids r ova. even at wuk.

Kenneth said...

Teamwork is another word for unity. When we step into the realm of unity we accomplish tasks easily. Teamwork should be the foundation of our community. As we help one another by submiting one thing to our society we can make it easier to accomplish a better place to live in.

Team work in today's world is very important in any aspect. Some of the areas are the corporate world, any medical department/organization, to police and fire departments. Where any of these areas not use team work, well quiet simply, it would be chaos. THe world we know would not be any where near to recognizable if this happened. In fact, I doubt humans would have survived.
