Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.

Effective leadership is one of the most important factors of good teamwork. The team’s leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.

Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s opinions.

Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that settles them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.

The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative words or behaviors on the leader’s part can be disastrous.

Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.

“Uno,dos,tres…”James counted out loud the number of pages in his history report. His older brother,Matt,sat across the kitchen table from him.

“What are you doing now,James?”asked Matt,slightly bothered by James’s loud voice. “I’m trying to study for my math test. I can’t focus on my study if you keep talking.”Matt complained.

“I need to count the number of pages. We need to have at least five pages about the American Revolution. So far I only have three.”

“Why do you have to count out loud?Why does it have to be in Spanish?”Matt asked.

“Because we’re learning our numbers in Spanish class. My Spanish teacher said that speaking to others loudly instead of reading to ourselves will help us with our pronunciation.”

“I’m going to another room,”Matt said as he picked up his books.

“Okay,but you’ll be sorry when the day comes that I know Spanish and you don’t,” James joked.

A few weeks later,James and Matt visited the local grocery store. While they were there,Matt saw a sign written in Spanish.

“James,”Matt said to his brother.“Do you know what this sign says?”Matt asked,expecting James to stare at the sign without understanding.

To Matt’s surprise,James read the sign out loud.“The sign says,‘Hello. Welcome to our store,” James said. Matt was surprised. He knew that James had been practicing Spanish,but he did not realize that his brother was advancing that quickly.

“I can also read that sign over there,”James said,pointing to a sign warning customers about the wet floor.

“Well,James,”Matt said as they walked out of the store.“I’m impressed by how quickly you are learning to speak Spanish.”

“Spanish is easy and fun to learn,”James replied,smiling with confidence.“You should practice with me. We could both speak Spanish at home.”

Matt thought about James’s remark and said,“That’s a great idea!”

1.The world is filled with smart,talented,educated and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is,great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5percent of Americans earn more than 100,000ayear.Abusinessconsultantwhospecializesinthemedicaltradewastellingmehowmanydoctorsanddentistsstrugglefinancially.Itwasthisbusinessconsultantwhogavemethephrase,"Theyareoneskillawayfromgreatwealth."Thereisanoldsayingthatgoes,"Jobmeans"justoverbroke(破产And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence,most workers"live within their means".They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.
     When I ask the classes I teach,"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?"almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,"So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonald's makes more money than you?"The answer is obvious:McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
