One Spirit, One Team, One Win

An individual cannot perform all tasks on his own. He needs the support as well as the guidance of others to be excellent in whatever he does. Complex goals can easily be accomplished if individuals work together as a team.

What is a team?

A team is a group of individuals, all working together for a common purpose. The individuals comprising a team ideally should have common goals, common objectives and think on the same lines. Individuals who are not compatible with each other can never form a team. They should have similar if not the same interests, thought processes, attitude, perception, and likings.

Importance of Communication

Research has found that three or more people working together on a project are much more effective than a single person spending all his time doing the same thing. However, without communication, the three-plus team members can be as useless as if the project went untouched.

Benefits of Communication

Teams that communicate complete projects in a quicker and more efficient amount of time than others. They also are more accurate in their work than others. Effective communication also allows team members to understand their roles and the roles of everyone else on the team. It also gives room for understanding among the team members for what needs to be done.

What happens in a Handball team?

All the players have a common focus and a common objective. Everyone, the captain, the Goalkeeper, the Defender, the Attacker all work together to achieve a common target i.e. win the game. No one ever thinks of losing the game.

Team Size

The team size depends on the complexity of the task to be accomplished. Ideally, a team should consist of 7–10 members. Too many members also lead to confusions and misunderstandings.

It is not always that we require a team. Teams should be formed when the task is a little complicated. A single brain can sometimes not take all critical decisions alone, thus a team is formed where the team members contribute equally making the task easy. A team can create wonders if all the team members work in unison.
