		Teamwork means people working together and co-operating. In 
		many projects, it is important that people work together to achieve a 
		common goal. The new design for a computer system may include people 
		working in teams.

			- listen to other people's 
			ideas.
 
			- share your ideas with 
			others.
 
			- help other members of the 
			team.
 
			- interact with others - ask 
			questions and generally communicate
 
			- respect other people's 
			ideas.

        Projects will take less time to 
		complete if there is effective teamwork, and the end result will be 
		better. Teams should bring together people with 
		different skills. Members of the team 
		will also feel positive that they have contributed to a common goal. 
		An individual working alone will feel less confident, more stressed and 
		may find difficulties harder to resolve.

        However... ...team members may not get on well with each 
		other....disagreements...arguments...conflicts. 
		Teams in conflict will not get the job done effectively.  |
