 What Is A Team?
According to Webster's Ninth Edition:
“A team is a number of persons associated together in work or
activity: as a group on one side.”

In other words, when one person cannot accomplish a job alone

and several individuals must cooperate to fulfill a mission, need a
team.
The better the cooperation, communication, and coordination
among team members, the more efficient the team.
