Teamwork Skills

3 of 10

Every time you breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you built teamwork skills. In college, you'll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your opinions, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.

Together

Everyone

Achieves

More

Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of a team are edified together, a type of education you can't obtain by working alone.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Helen Keller

It is true because when you work alone you get a little bit done but in groups it can lead to success. Working with others can help because your weakness in something can be a strength for another person you working with and the other way around. So its right 2 heads are better than one.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 6

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone.  Through this habit teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly solo in life. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you will go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist; it’s all of them together that make up the “sound”. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create better than each could alone. No instrument is more important over another, Just different.
