When several workers come together to achieve a high common goal , thereby giving more significance to collective success over individual gains, then that is called team-work.
Since prehistoric times, man has been working in teams to realize dreams that would have been impossible for him to go alone.

The Situation at the Valley

| Team work v/s Individual work |
This problem was presented to us in the class while discussing about team-work. The message was self evident and beautifully depicted.
3 people have to carry a payload(a log in this case) and deliver it to the destination. But there is a problem, there is a valley like gap in between where each member has to rely on other two to cross.
Would this have been possible had it been a single individual? No.
What makes the difference now? Its the TEAM. Each of the member can now hang on while crossing the valley from the other two and also provides support when his team mates are endangered.
This is how the entire activity will get completed:
Observations:
- Each team member is fully safe once and half safe twice i.e. the risk is distributed.
- All of them will have to safeguard each other when they get into a risky situation i.e. the work is equitably distributed.
- All of them have to ensure instantaneous communication and cooperation to finish the task.
These 3 key points can be applied to any scenario of team-working.
