095. People work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation, which motivates people much more than individual competition does.

At this point in time when change is taking place so rapidly leading to increased complexity, people benefit more by working with each other in a cooperative manner as a team to achieve their goals instead of working as individuals competing for each and everything cause cooperation leads to motivation to achieve more and competition can have adverse affects and can pull a person down.

Competition is a good incentive to make people work harder but when competition gets too much it can cause a lot of stress and failure and hence lead to decreased motivation. However working together in a smooth precise manner helps more in every aspect of life and helps an individual to be more motivated.

Team work is an essential element in sports like cricket, base ball, foot ball etc if the whole team doesn’t play as one nothing can be achieved by an individual’s effort. While it is important that each and every individual making the team puts in his or her maximum effort but no single individual can make a difference unless the team as a whole works in harmony to achieve their goal. Hence the victory that they bring for all of them and for their country by working together as a team motivates them more than knowing that they played well individually.

Not only in sports but in any establishment running at any level team work is very important. In a hospital if doctors, nurses and the other staff doesn’t work in a cooperative manner it will lead to a disaster, like during an operation the doctor needs an excellent team which works in coordination to save a patient’s life cause a doctor alone however good they are cannot do everything by themselves. If a patient’s life is saved because of this combined effort it makes each and every individual who worked together to make it happen feel so good cause what can be better than being able to help a person in misery. Hence all of them feel more motivated to help people in need.

In an organization, if it is to succeed each and every person has to put in their best but if everyone is making an effort to succeed on their own and the efforts aren’t properly directed towards the overall success of the organization neither the individuals nor the organization will achieve anything hence no one will be motivated enough to put in their best , therefore it is essential that each one of them work in a directed manner cooperating with each other to achieve the best for themselves and for their organization.

Without team work no harmony can be there and hence no individual can find any kind of motivation, so working together, being there for each other and helping each other gives a lot of satisfaction and motivates people to work better. Thus while we need competition at a certain level and of a certain kind what we really need is cooperation,to succeed ,to stay motivated, happy and satisfied.
