Teamwork

see how it boosts
productivity.
2. More productive conflict
management

To complete shared goals, team

members have to bring
together diverse viewpoints
and build on them. They have
to challenge each other's
assumptions. Sometimes they
have to compromise. Problem-
solving is ongoing. Teams
develop strong
conflict management skills to
avoid lingering issues and
tension.
3. More meaningful team development
• Working as a team allows people to get to know each other’s skills,
personalities, and areas of expertise. Developing these connections leads to a
stronger, more developed team. Professional relationships may flourish, and
people may discover opportunities for mentoring.
4. Bigger goals
• Effective teamwork proves that
a team can do great things, and
with that comes an expansion
of their goals. A successful team
won’t stay stagnant for long.
Managers will be motivated to
set new team goals. Employees
of all levels will want to
challenge themselves and
expand their own skill sets.
