TEAMWORK

The spirit of team work is much more needed for an organisation to excel. Productivity growth is very high wherever the spirit of team work is the dominating influence among the workforce. Teamwork created through common interest and goals will make victory very possible. It is much more needed as through it an organisation can achieve its goals within a short period time something that is much more needed for cooperate growth. Whenever there is teamwork people share ideas together for the betterment of their organisation as well as their clients this in turn can produce credible results. Team members should be able to express their views and see each other‘s view points in any matter that they want to work in order to achieve their goals and objectives as each member has a role in the team’s success. Through teamwork each member of the team is committed and motivated to success and where ever they are working they are striving very hard to achieve it because they all know what they want. Teamwork is very important in the sense that each team player knows the importance of working together smoothly in order to excel,(Sugarman,2004). Even in the university groups which work together nicely, understanding each other, listening to one another’s points of views usually do very well. I personally think team work is the driving force that organisations can use in order to success. The spirit of teamwork is very important as it can do wonders to an organisation. With teamwork an organisation is able to can move the mountains. Ants are an example of small animals which have team work, where ever they are building their houses. What amazes me is that each team player is working very hard to get their house done; each is collecting small pieces of wood so that they have a roof under their heads. Even if people destroy their make they will work tiredsly and continue to do the same procedures again because they have a mission to achieve. When ants can, it is possible for human to do the same for the benefit of an organisation.

During my internship what I have learned at the university are always told to get in and get in groups and cooperate where ever we do an assignment, but in the real world that is not the case. In the consultancy where I was working teamwork was not of vital importance to them. Each consultant was assigned to handle the client’s accounts without help from fellow consultants. The consultants was supposed to arrange for meetings with the clients, call media , make and collect cheques, call suppliers and other key publics who are important to the client. To me this was too much for one person to handle. The question is what if the consultant is not at work for emergency purpose and the client or the media wants to clarify something? Obviously other consultants will not help out because they don’t know much about the client. I strongly believe the idea of not having teamwork in the consultancy was to get as much as many clients as possible and make more money that is why one consultant was supposed to all the work alone. I have observed that without teamwork creativity is limited as we do not bring many ideas that will help an event or campaign is a successful one .So it requires extreme hard work to achieve the client’s objectives and goals and of course impress the boss.
