Teamwork has, more than ever before become a hugely important part of a firms organization. ...
Genuine teamwork must be value-based, behaviorally rooted in shared values. Managers exert considerable influence over values that fundamentally affect teamwork:No one must be rewarded for (intentionally) looking good at the expense of another. When staff sense that such behavior is rewarded, they use information in tactical ways that prevent teamwork. Team players are committed to each others success, and in a "teamwork culture" this value is understood.
At its core, teamwork requires a willingness on the part of individuals to enter into interdependencies involving risk. ... Widespread teamwork therefore requires many interdependencies and a foundation of trust. ... Managers are fascinated by the possibility of achieving a better quality of work from employees, and studies have shown that teamwork is an excellent way to achieve higher better results and increased motivation. ... Teamwork alone is not the answer to managers dreams. ... Due to this reason, teamwork in my opinion will continue to be a risk which will never guarentee sucess, but is nevertheless a novel concept for managers to explore.
