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 (as in
football or debate).”
In other words, when one person cannot accomplish a
job alone and several individuals must cooperate to
fulfill a mission, you need a team. The better the
cooperation, communication, and coordination
among team members, the more efficient the team.
