It teaches you how to share in responsibility and coexist.

I believe that there should also be leader for the team to follow to have some direction on where and what to do!

Answer 7

For young children especially team work builds trust, compromise and sharing.

For children and teens it instills in them that asking for help is not a bad thing, and that helping someone else is a positive experience.

For adults it allows us to practice independance yet compromise.  It allows us to have respect for others who helping us, teaches us the use the words 'thank you' and 'I need help' - which many adults have forgotten.

Answer 8

Because if you don't then nothing will get done and you'll end up arguing and turning people into HR and get fired and stuff.

Answer 9

perception is the key word here...... see we all percieve situations in a different way....  There for we will all have different ways to deal with task in question.  

We are all totaly unique and we all have our own strenghts and weaknesses.

by working as a team it gives everyone a chance to use their strentghs to combat the weakness in the group and therefore do the job in a more successful way.

when dealing with  children you need a never ending supply of ideas.  i run a youth club and i have a very good team  of youth workers. We bounce ideas of each other and polish ideas up so they work with our kids. Since taking over the club our youngsters have grown and become more respectfull. without their co operation we probably would have folded.

i guess what counts in a team is acceptance of each other and a willingness to share ideas and take someone elses ideas on board.

teamwork teaches kids how to share, how to tollerate each other and how to accept that sometimes its ok to stand back and let a more able person do the job.

Answer 10

To help each other out and get the work done faster

Answer 11

Its a good exercise to find out that you work much better on your own!!!   Like me, I hate others taking the credit for something I have either done or suggested - like my witch of a boss last week.  I will one day see her caught out for the pure biiiitch she is!!

Answer 12

I work in a team of chefs. If we didn't communicate, didn't support one another and didn't listen and take on board the ideas of the rest of the team, then we would fail in our mission to have a good service and consistently produce good quality meals  for our guests. If there is a lot of bickering and back biting within a team then that team would struggle to deliver those same standards and would eventually implode and fragment.

Answer 13

Together

Everyone

Achieves

More

Teamwork enhances communication skills because you've got to consider and respect the views of others

Answer 14

Answer 15
