Working in Teams

Exceptional teamwork is the keystone in building an organization’s short- and long-term success. It is what helps organizations take on new challenges and perform tasks. Teams that work well together can greatly increase workplace productivity and creates a more cohesive company culture.

But effective teamwork can be challenging to attain due to the myriad issues they face – day-to-day demands, differences in personalities, lack of alignment, communication issues, team-member motivation, etc. 

Teamwork is as much a science as it is an art; some teams work extremely well together, while others seem to fall apart or actually hinder progress. Knowing the elements for effective teamwork can help you to build and maintain high-performance teams throughout your organization.

“What I remember best from our Working in Teams session is that “talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships”. I keep this in mind knowing that the work Lito did with us helped unleash the best in our team to move forward.”

— Joy Ong, Assistant Manager, Professional Relations Management Division, United Laboratories, Inc.
