TEAMWORK AD LEADERSHIP
How do you get the best out of a team?
“Teamwork is generally understood as the willingness of a group of people to
work together to achieve a common aim” (THE HAPPY MANAGER, 2021). That is to
say, you need to work with partners that have been like you, and also they want to
achieve the same goal. However, work in a group is not so simple. Teamwork is like a
big family, they have their own values, problems, and different ideas, but they should
organize that to do the best for the family as a teamwork.
Once, I have worked at a big company, and my manager said to me that I would
make the difference when I worked together with my co-workers, like ants. Ants all the
time work in group.
When we have talked about leadership, we used an idea bigger than the
conception of the boss. “Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to
accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more
cohesive and coherent” (NWLINK. 2015). In other words, the leader not only guide
other people, but also make them want to achieve goals, thus the leader needs to be the
example for the group. About leadership, Kenneth Boulding, in The Image: Knowledge
in life and society, said that the meaning of a message was the change which it produced
(NWLINK. 2015).

The term feedback originated in the physical world of regulatory mechanisms, a
simple feedback mechanism in the nozzle’s handle responds to a change in pressure and
instantly closes the valve when a car’s tank is full. In terms of human
methodologies, feedback is offering to or receiving from other opinion, impressions,
and assessments of attitudes and behavior in any form (CAROL STANFORD, 2019).
The feedback is an important mechanism to make any decision, mainly in groups. In
other words, the feedback helps teamwork go in the same direction.
Delegation is when managers or supervisors give responsibility and authority to
subordinates to complete a task, and let the subordinates figure out how the task can be
accomplished. Effective delegation develops people who ultimately become more
fulfilled and productive (CYC, 2001). Effective delegation is important to teamwork
because it can help individuals and organizations to be more effective. That’s why
teamwork has always helped each other.
Imagine that effective delegation seems like a machine, each member is a part of
gear, and the delegation is the function. So, they need to work together to achieve the
goals like the machine. To Summarize, they need to work together. When the teamwork
was not going well, they mustn’t have worked together. Derek Stockley in your article
said that the delegation was a key and management skill (DEREK STOCKEY, 2014).
My teamwork project is about a school’s work. This was a project that was 5
years ago and involved all the members of the school. At the beginning, when we were
going to build a physical structure, the wind disturbed. We must have done this in
another way. However, the wind stopped, and we had finished the whole project. I think
that the conclusion happened because all the members solved the problem together.

Working in a group is the most important to solve some problems in a team. We
have some tools to use for helping us, in a complicated situation. Studies about
teamwork are important too. I was thinking about my best qualities and my conclusion
is, I am a communicative, open mind, good listener, and democratic person. I think two
heads are better than one. If you have had a problem working in a group, you would
have talked about it with your leader.
