     Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results.

However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem.Effective teamwork certainly

does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise.There are a

number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.

     Effective leadership is one of the most important components of good teamwork.The team's leader

should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire

the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed.An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.

Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team.Team

members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each

other's opinions.·

    Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together.The best way to deal with conflicts is

to have some organized methods of handling conflicts.Team members should be able to voice their

concerns without fear of offending others.Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a handson approach that

settles them quickly is much better.It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties

and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.

The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork.In order to keep team members

positive and committed and motivated, the team leader herself/himself needs to show these qualities.The

team turns to the leader for support and guidance.So any negative words or behaviors on the leader's

part can be disastrous.
