Why is teamwork important?
Teamwork is important because we need to work with others in many situations in life. Teamwork is often required so as to tap one another's strengths and to achieve greater success.
For example, In a class, in order for everyone to pay attention to the teacher's instruction, we need the cooperation of every students to be able to remain silent so that the teacher's instruction can be passed down smoothly.
There are some students who are responsible for the class try to help keep the class quiet but yet other students choose not to cooperate.

Effective teamwork involves:

• Adopting positive attitudes in various situations such as:
• Working Collaboratively and valuing every contributions,
• Understanding and sharing team goals. (Class Motto: All for one, one for all)
• Putting interests of the team above self-interest. (Do not be selfish)
• Having a sense of satisfaction in the team's success.
• Having the right values.
• Showing respect for others (If u wan other to respect u, u got to first respect others).
• Practising personal and mutual responsibility. ( when you are responsible, people will respect ur decision.
• Being innovative and open-minded; (when u are willing to be creative in making things work, you are able to make a difference).
• Caring for one another.

An individual is successful because of the support given by the rest of the team. Therefore, the individual's success is the team's success. ( if the naughty students behave themselves, will not the class be praise for the good behaviour?)

Some quotes on teamwork.

There is no “I” in teamwork. Teamwork in simply means less of me but more of we.
TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More
Teamwork is the ability to work together towards a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.

I really think that teamwork is essential in all things that we do. No matter what situations we are in, it is often teamwork that lead us to the next level. The power of unity is the power to success. Only when everyone is heading towards a single direction (focus), it is where ultimate power and potential is release to the maximum. So rmb "no man is an island!", we need each other to grow and progress no matter what. SO Work together not individually, but use ur unique individual with other's strength to release the maximum potential in everyone.
