Teamwork is an essential part of workplace success. Like a basketball team working together to set up the perfect shot, every team member has a specific role to play in accomplishing tasks on the job. Although it may seem as if one player scored the basket, that basket was made possible by many people’s planning, coordination, and cooperation to get that player the ball.

The performance elements include the ability to:

• use teamwork principles to promote effective healthcare;

• Use teamwork to coordinate and integrate care processes to ensure continuity and reliability of patient care; and

• use effective communication techniques to share information.

Effective Teamwork was prepared for Constructing Excellence by Eclipse Research Consultants. For details of how to contact the authors see the inside back cover of this guide. Illustrations were by Gerry Armstrong. Teamwork has been conceptualized within several theoretical models. For example, in their review, Rousseau et al. reported that 29 frameworks related to teamwork have been published. Although there is much overlap across these models, there are also some notable differences. These relate to the number of dimensions of teamwork being conceptualized as well as the specific labeling of these dimensions. One thing that is generally agreed upon, however, is that teamwork is comprised of multiple observable and measurable behaviors. For instance, two highly cited frameworks by Marks et al.

Before you can work together as a team, your group will need to be made aware of the benefits that can come from teamwork. It’s possible that everyone will not be willing to work as a unit and careful examination and explanation of the benefits that teamwork can bring changing minds and building a stronger team.

· Ask people to write down positive and negative ideas they have about teamwork.

· Work together to address negative concerns or attitudes.

· For example, someone might be concerned that teamwork can hurt an individual and their expression of ideas. The ways in which a team can actually help empower an individual’s ideas should be highlighted in response.

Effective teams are rewarding and share many common characteristics. Respect for other team members is essential for team effectiveness. Valuing the strengths of teammates, while minimizing their weaknesses, promotes team cohesion. Cooperating as a team requires trust, focusing on and believing in the end goal, arguing less and exploring more. Team trust can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the structures organizations put in place to reward their employees. An analysis of team-based rewards, in particular, suggests several interesting implications regarding their impact on team trust.
