The Pros and Cons of Teamwork Teamwork is a pretty broad subject and has many different types of interpretations. By definition it means, “The combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient”. Now in any type of group situation, whether it be in a working environment, a sports team or even just a meeting of the minds, teamwork is a vital resource when trying to complete a task efficiently and effectively. Some of the Pros of teamwork include having more than one opinion on what you should be doing, time management is easier because the work can be spread out making less work for each individual, and you can always ask someone to help you if you get stuck on something or need assistance. On the flip side some of the cons include not having the whole team trying for the same grade, people can just sit in the background and let everyone else do the work for them, and it may be more difficult to work together outside of the office or classroom depending on everyone’s individual schedules
Working in a group can be very rewarding and has always been one of my favorite activities to do in class. It allows you to make new friends and work together and create a final product that may be much better than what you could have created on your own. When the group works well together everything seems to just fall together and get completed on time and to its maximum potential. Having people to consult for a second opinion or having an answer to your question that you just can’t seem to figure out is always appreciated. The best part of it all is that when you’re assigned a seemingly impossible project the group divides up the work it becomes much less of an enormous task. Teamwork is vital in many aspects of life and it is quite frankly one of the most rewarding things when the group works together efficiently and gets everything done.
The cons of teamwork can be a very big turn off to some people for
