Teamwork: The Post Important Social Skill for Success

April 10, 2024 by MA Instructor Academy

Teamwork: There is an “I” in TEAM and it is “U”!

Teamwork is about cohesiveness and working together.  However, you must also consider the individual’s role, your role, as a team member and how important your personal contribution to the team is.  When you are part of a team, your actions affect everyone, not just yourself and therefore your efforts, your “I” efforts are even more important than when you are working alone.

Being part of a team doesn’t necessarily mean less responsibility on your part, it could mean even more responsibility.  Typically, the reason for a team is because the job at hand is large; too large for one person.  Because of this, your role as part of the team is larger and reaches more people than you would ever be able to reach alone.  If you are the weak link in the group, the one who misses the planning meetings, is late with your contribution or do a poor job, you, the “I” has caused the whole team and their mission to suffer.  Conversely, if you are on time, make every effort to be a part and your contributions are to the best of your abilities then “U” have single-handedly, strengthened the teams mission.

Think about the teams you are currently a part of.  How are “U” doing as a member? Are “U” a problem solver?  Are “U” giving your all, doing your best?  Being part of a team is not a chance to hide in the back and let others do the work.  It is a time for “U” to shine and show off your individual talents as “U” help build a strong team.  So again, I submit that there is an “I” in TEAM and it’s “U”!
