Teams can accomplish tasks and projects that individuals cannot.

This is easy to understand when

  • we think of large physical projects such as the construction of a building or a bridge,
  • but there are many situations in our everyday professional and personal lives where it takes effective teamwork to achieve results that may not be immediately visible, or that might have a multitude of outcomes.

Teams can

  1. innovate faster,
  2. see mistakes more quickly
  3. and find better solutions to problems

(Duhigg, 2016).

  • And we also know that people working in teams are more likely to be happy with their jobs, 
  • and that companies who support and encourage teamwork enjoy an increase in profitability.
