There is no "I" in Team

With many business creating teams to complete tass there are often time when we find ourselves working as part of team, rather than on a more isolate, lone wolf kind of project. When we find ourselves under these teamwork circumstances then we need to be at our best to ensure that we are in fact being a good team player. one that is contributing to the project and the work being done instead of being hindrance or somewhat of a hurdle that must be overcome to complete the tast in an effective timely manner. What I think you need to remember is that when we are working alone we are essentially the entire machine, but as a member you are a single part of an excellent machine that has to fit and work with the other parts to make the team machine function. Relating your team to a machine is an excellent way to look at it because without one part, the other may not work, and vise versa. Team co operation is key to make all parts run smoothly to maximize unit success.

By highlighting and discussing the various ways that we can work best within a team environment, perhaps there will be areas in our work that will recognize where we have some room for improvements. When you are working on projects where you are more riding solo, then you know what bothers you and what issues that arise are ones that will prove problematic to your progress. Having said that, when you are in a team, you cannot so easily recognize what the roadblock is. So you have to be able to read the situation, and work with the other team members.

Working in a team environment can be hugely rewarding, or endlessly taxing depending on the way each member of the team integrates themselves into the atmosphere. You want to get out of the experience that which is equal to what you put into it. In order to do so, you need to work with your teammates and not think you can do it all yourself. You need each member of the team to come to the table ready, and willing to work as a member of that team.
