WHY IT MATTERS
Almost every professional activity involves some form of teamwork, and it is essential that teams learn how to work together to accomplish common goals. Unfortunately, many fail to do so effectively, which leads to negative consequences. Working as a team can be complicated. The difference between working in a group and true teamwork lies in the level of interdependence and dependability among team members. High-performance teamwork requires – among other things – mutual trust, respect, and accountability, and interdependent work on common objectives.
