Leaders know that one person alone cannot achieve an organization's mission and goals; teams are the most effective means of accomplishing things. A team is a group of people who work together to accomplish a common goal. The team members share responsibility for the team's tasks and depend on one another to achieve them.
Teams offer great benefits. Team members have a variety of knowledge and skills useful in accomplishing the organization's goals. Teamwork often results in more creativity and greater productivity. As a leader, you benefit as well. With successful teams in place, you have more time to devote to leadership issues because you spend less time on day-to-day supervision and activities.
