Team Work

Team Management

Every employee is dependent on his fellow employees to work together and contribute efficiently to the organization. No employee can work alone, he has to take the help of his colleagues to accomplish the tasks efficiently.  The result comes out to be far better when employees work as a team rather than individually as every individual can contribute in his best possible way. 

Team work is essential in corporate world for better output and a better bonding among employees. The team understands the goals and is committed to attaining them.

In a team, the other team members can perform and manage the work in the absence of any member and hence work is not affected much. Team work reduces the chances of unnecessary conflicts among the employees and every individual tries his level best to support his team member. 

Team members can also gain from  each other. Every individual is different and has some qualities. One can always benefit something or the other from his team members which would help him in the long run. Team and team work must be encouraged at workplace as it strengthens the bond among the employees and the targets can be met at a faster pace.  

The team creates an environment in which people are comfortable  taking reasonable risks in communicating, advocating positions, and taking action.  Members of the team make high quality decisions together and have the support and commitment of the group to carry out the decisions made. 

The team's high performance is achieved by

• Forming (coming together),

• Storming (expressing opinions),

• Norming (working out the rules) and

• Performing (getting the job done).

Successful projects are usually the result of careful planning and the talent and collaboration of a project's team members.

Aiyan Thiruvalluvar says

தெரிந்த இனத்தொடு தேர்ந்தெண்ணிச் செய்வார்க்கு
அரும்பொருள் யாதொன்றும் இல்.  (462)

आप्तों से कर मंत्रणा, करता स्वयं विचार ।

उस कर्मी को है नहीं, कुछ भी असाध्य कार ॥ (४६२)

Explanation by Scholars

There is nothing too difficult to (be attained by) those who, before they act, reflect well themselves, and thoroughly consider (the matter) with chosen friends.

தாம் தேர்ந்து கொண்ட நிருவாகச் சுற்றத்தோடு ஒருசெயலை ஆராய்ந்து 
திட்டமிட்டுச் செய்பவர்க்குச் செய்யமுடியாத செயல் என்று எதுவும் இல்லை.
