ABSTRACT
Teamwork is another term that has broad social usage, with a general agreement as to its meaning but lacking precision. A team is a group of people, including a leader, with a common purpose who must interact with each other in order to perform their individual tasks and thus achieve their common purpose. The leader of the team needs to hold team members accountable for their work as individuals – including that part of their work that requires establishing constructive and co-operative work relationships with other team members. The team leader must create and maintain the appropriate social processes for its members and its purpose. Team members need to establish constructive and co-operative work relationships with other team members. Team members have the authority to require the leader to be clear about context, purpose, tasks and can demand a review. The leader needs to do the work of monitoring progress of the team.
