“Coming together is the beginning, staying together is progress but walking together is success” – Henry Ford
You may have heard the phrase, ‘No man is an Island’ over and over again. Imagine if you were the only person in your class, your family, or city! If you were a trader, you would buy and sell to yourself. If you were a teacher, you would learn and teach yourself. If you were a farmer, you would sow, reap, and consume by yourself! Sounds really awkward, doesn’t it?
As humans, we all have weaknesses and excel. We need to complement those weaknesses through teamwork, which is the collaborative effort of a group to achieve a common goal or complete a task effectively and efficiently. Essentially, there is more than one person in a team with each one having a specific role based on his/her strength.
A team is a group of individuals working together to achieve a common goal. It is also known as a group of people committed to achieving something worthwhile. Teams typically have complementary skills and generate synergy through a coordinated effort that allows each member to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses, as observed in sports with more than one player.
For example, if you find it hard to understand Mathematics and decide to meet other students who know it better than you do to teach you, and in return, you teach them the secrets of learning English or Literature, then you are working as a team. Some people understand faster and retain more when they engage in group reading or discussion on a particular subject or topic that may seem hard to study.
For you to achieve a comprehensive, well-rounded education, integrated teamwork on several fronts is vital. The more teamwork fundamentals exhibited, the more opportunity exists for students to learn the essential skills of compromise and collaboration.
Team or group work in a classroom teaches students the fundamental skills of working as a collective unit toward a common goal. This type of teamwork exposes you to skills that will be valuable for you later in the workforce, such as communication, compromise, and collective effort. In any group work, you must agree about who will handle various project components and work in tandem using one another’s strengths to accomplish assigned tasks.
We all need people at one point or the other to be more productive. You can start leveraging on teamwork from now to make tasks easier for you.

Ok,my comment is just that all what they are trying to say is truth and God will help us all.
So about the teamwork I.e working together to achieve a common goal and to achieve success.Yes because the only road that leads to success is to work hard and not on our own but to work together because working together brings about different person ideas and understanding,so anything we wanted to do should be in teamwork in order to achieve a goal.
For example,if we want to cook a delicious jollof rice ,it has to comprises some ingredients in order to make it a delicious jollof rice,so the working together of the ingredients and rice make it a delicious jollofrice.So if we too now join hands together and work in team,surely we are going to achieve a goal.
TEAMWORK BRINGS SUCCESS
We can easily achieve more by pooling our resources, and effort together..
Though some people can easily be discouraged from doing what is right by their colleague..
Working together with a sincere and transparent teams gives the best out of you.
Be wise when choosing your partner.

For my own understanding,working together or working in team is a easier and faster way of acquiring knowledge,goals and success.
Why?I think we all knew the saying that says “one can’t know everything”yes,one cannot know everything because there is a limit to every person understanding and knowledge,so when we now works together,it means we are acquiring knowledge and trying to gather knowledge in different ways, fom different person too.So trying to do this,is a way of going to part of success.
For example,if we take a look at the lifestyle of a human beings.Adult and youth,we will see that,there are some certain things in which an old person can do not everything,and if we take a look at that young person,we will see that,is not everything that she will able to do.one Yoruba proverb says”owo omode koto pepe,ti agba ko wo kerengbe”so working together in team will surely leads to success.
Teamwork is very crucial in all group or organization because it enhances growth and development
Wow!
Teamwork maximizes strengths!
I love this blog!

Teamwork is very essential
As it is said that no man is an island
A drop of water cannot make an ocean
Apart from the fact that you need other people to become productive there is also this joy in helping each other, there is more to being a team. In a team you share each other’s joy, sadness, bad and happy times, and also success
