How You Will Benefit
Although the goal of teamwork is to generate multiple ideas, spilt up assignments, and build on relationships, teams can go haywire without enough direction and focus. It is important to understand the dynamics of the team, what the team hopes to accomplish, and any strengths and weaknesses individuals on the team may have.
In a Business Insider study, 39% of employees surveyed responded that people in their own organization don’t collaborate enough. Furthermore, about 75% of employers rate teamwork and collaboration as “very important.” When teams do get together, 97% of employees and executives surveyed believe that lack focus on a team directly impacts the outcome of a task or project.
