Teamwork makes the Dream Work

 


  We all know already that teamwork is the key to success in most of life and business. We have been teaching how to involve teamwork in the school lesson. All sorts of tasks or projects become easier and faster through teamwork. Working together enables us to tackle big projects and audacious goals that just would not be possible alone. Teamwork gives far beyond making the best carrying the heaviest objects. But not everyone sees the value and benefits of working together. So what is teamwork and why is it important in certain jobs?

  Teamwork is a skill that involves the ability to work cooperatively with others. There are a variety of different teamwork skills, but they are all related to the ability to engage and work well with others. Such as communication, conflict management, listening, reliability, and respectfulness. A successful member of a team requires excellent communication, listening, and conflict management skills. However, teamwork is a challenge in and of itself. It requires that people manage their egos, develop humility, and even commit to one another and to a common goal. Besides, here are some benefits that teamwork can bring to the work environment.

  Teamwork is a source of motivation and inspiration. As the team members start to work together, they'll see how it boosts productivity. Teams may meet treasure with greater ease than individuals. Giving or seeing success can motivate others to stick with their goals, even if they encounter challenges. This is effective for members to keep searching for new ideas.

  Teamwork is about meaningful team development. Working as a team allows people to get to know each other's skills, personalities, and areas of expertise. Developing these connections leads to a stronger, more developed team. Imagine in the same room there are 10 designers working on the same project. Soon or later, they will learn each other's strengths and correct each other's mistakes than, working in a separate room. 

  More productive conflict management. With effective teamwork comes more open communication. It's not about smooth conflict resolution so much as working with friction in respectful, productive ways. Teams develop strong conflict management skills to avoid lingering issues and tension. This can lead to strong working relationships. They form bonds that can turn into trust and friendship. It's human nature, isn't it?

  Hearing different viewpoints and using other people's skills can help us do our jobs better. But what teamwork is not about is competing against each other. It should appreciate what everyone offers. Live together, fail together. Thank you for your time and as always have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
