the best team work is where the communication is the main important thing

I would say three things constitute successful teawork
First: respect, listening to each others ideas, not mocking each other is necessary for any group to create synergies
Second: Openess, there must be enough confidence between teammembers as for everyone to be open about their opinions and suggestions
Lastly: Not scoring. Team members work together, not against each other, so keeping track of every little action would only create frictions as perception would be different. Of course extra effort should be rewarded, but in a team way, not making other feel less valued. Which would be even better because it would create recognition from the own team.

I think that communication is one of the most essential qualities that leads to successful teamwork. Having been in multiple teams, communicating with my team about what is to be done or them communicating with me about their capabilities or limitations has helped me strategize the next steps.

The key to successful teamwork is trust and communication. Tasks and responsibilities need to be clearly defined. There needs to be open communication in order to tackle problems as soon as they arise. Moreover clear feedback among all team members is essential.

There are 3 things that constitute a successful teamwork
1) Relationship with the team members: Without a doubt having a good relationship with your teammates brings out the desire to work with them and enhances internal understanding
2) Trust: You need to place trust in your teammates that they are great at what they do and leave them in charge of what they are good at
3) Diversity of opinions: An acceptance of diversity of opinions within the team helps cover everything, enables a new perspective, and avoids leaving any potential blind spots unguarded

I believe three main components constitute a successful teamwork:
1- Openness to feedback: It is essential to constantly seek constructive feedback from your peers, teammate and managers to identify and work on potential areas of improvement.
2- Collaboration: joining ideas, strategies and support to achieve common goals
3- Accountability: each team member is accountable for a certain task to be completed successfully

Ich glaube, eine erfolgreihce Teamarbeit gliedert sich in 3 Punkte:
- offene & ehrliche Kommunikation
- Hilfbereitschaft
- respektvoller Umgang
Was this answer helpful?
trust, openness, honesty, reliability
Was this answer helpful?
Successful teamwork is about setting the right expectations and targets within a team, and being aware of the other member's working style. I think communication is a key aspect to this, it is important to understand the conditions that people best perform in, and to open channels for communication and updates. Some might need closer management, and others like more independence. I think successful teamwork is observed when it is evident that the output is coherent, everyone has visbility over the workstreams they were less involved in, and are comfortable talking about it.
