Teamwork is a highly valued skill in the workplace.
There are not many jobs that one can successfully accomplish without working closely with others. Working together to reach a shared goal is the foundation upon which all teams are based. A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. This is how Katzenbach and Smith have defined a team in the book, Work Teams . Teamwork does not just happen.
