Teamwork: Unity is Strength

 

‘The strength of the team is each member, and the strength of each individual is the team’.

Let’s start with a great story which has been taught in our childhood, the story of 4 brothers, whose father teaches them the importance of unity by telling them to break a single stick and then try to break the bundle of sticks. This is a story that tells us the importance of unity and its strength.

But this was only the thing, there’s much more learn through this story. We have all working or going to work with any organizations and they want to earn by our knowledge and teamwork. We have to stick together for the profit of our organization. Let us try to understand this thing.

What is a Team?  

A team is a group of people who perform the tasks assigned to everybody and present it together as a whole with others. A team has a head that is called a leaders or mentors.

Each one performs a small task and later it combines to perform a big task or work which is represented by the company to earn profit and achieve the goal set by everyone. A team is not only about completing your task and then leave, rather it includes supporting and working together with other team members at any cost.

Importance of Teamwork

Teamwork holds much importance in everyone’s life, one way or the other way. The success of an individual because of hard work and support given by team members. It is not easy for everyone to work alone, taking responsibility for all your success and failures, but in that, you don’t get to know more about your strength and weakness also you cannot handle critical work, as you cannot work 24*7. You cannot motivate yourself every time and many other things as well. 

Improvisation of an Individual Through Teamwork

1. Teamwork help an individual improves in both manner as an individual and team level. It provides the learning attitude from others, and even provide help to the ones who need it to get successful.

2. It helps in making good relations and network with the people around with same job profile and creating a positive environment for working.

3. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, but working in a team, with positivity and creativity, increases the productivity and the weaknesses can be the strength easily.

4. Teamwork reduces the workload, as work is divided equally among all the team members, no single individual has to take all the load at once to get it completed.

Significance of Teamwork

During this tough period, teamwork is really important as it can help you in moving forward and motivated, not only out of professional life but also try working as a family now to help each other. Everyone needs support, a helping hand, in an organization, for their weakness and problems.

Though many times we have to eliminate some people now they need to get the best out of their potential and strength. So, always be helpful to everyone to maintain everything, not only for your benefits but for others too.

If your organization gets back on the same track as before this pandemic situation, then others may be promotions too. Even if you don’t get any promotions, don’t back off from giving you and demotivate, always contribute your 100% to your team and work for yourself too. Work as a team, not only for the present members but you have to earn your goal you have to work extra for it. 

To conclude this, not every team is good. Many ways help to make a good team. The team should consist of the right members that help one another in their weakness. They should always tell them about the knowledge required for their respective fields as the technology is changing rapidly.

A good team leader/mentor also plays an important role in a team as he/she must be there to ensure that no conflicts and disputes among the team members and solve them in the best way as soon as possible.

A team only give their 100% when there is no conflict and no communication gap between them. It also helps in solving their conflict within the team. A team is also about respect for each other. People should be valued at work. Nobody tolerates disrespect of his / her or team.

A team helps an individual to learn from their mistakes and failures and pushes them to use their strength in the right way, therefore working in a team is better than working it out all alone. 

As rightly said by Michael Jordan- ‘Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships’, so keep working together and keep winning!
