What do you think makes a team function well together? Explain your answer and provide examples.

A team is a group of people that do one thing together. Everyone in a team has a part in what they, as a whole, are up to. For instance, a soccer team is a group of people who play soccer, train together, and compete together against other teams to win. A school club can also be considered a team because they work towards a goal or for a cause as a whole and each person has an important contribution to the team. Teams need some qualities in order to function well together. First of all, if there is no communication then no one will understand what is going on and plans might get messed up really bad. Also, everyone in a team should be open-minded. If everyone wanted to work independently, were competitive, and wanted to act on only their ideas and no one else's, then no one would get along, no one would communicate, and their plans and events might be at a lower presentation level then a team who shared ideas and compromised on putting some together in order to make their work more advanced and professional or fun. In addition, team members should all have an interest in the category of group, team, or club that they are in/on. If there is no passion, inspiration or motivation from anyone in the group, then the group will get nowhere and will make absolutely no progress. All members of a team should contribute to their group and it's cause. All in all, a team should have passion, inspiration, teamwork, and open-mindedness, otherwise it may not function as well.
