OPINION:

In my opinion if any of the member have willingness to do the particular task he/she get the first the to do that because this will give more bright result. Every member have self respect and self esteem that's why he/she wants credits for what he/she did and this helps as a great motivator.

Characteristics of Effective Teamwork

Summary:

Characteristics of Effective Teamwork article is published by George N. Root. He wrote that effective team create its own characteristics. When effective  team start working they create their own environment to achieve their goals. He mention that it is not compulsory that every member agree on the views of the other. They can give their own views on contradictory side to find which views is better for the team or company.Participation is the main part of any teamwork as single member of team  is not able to do every task that's why every member need to contribute to make their team strong. No back biting is needed in every team if they have any issue need to communicate face to face for the solution as they all are team members.

OPINION:

I totally agree with the publisher that if everyone is free to speak it create more opportunity and every member learn new views. Moreover, it helps to reduce problems and it creates trust among all team means it create team by reducing back biting about other members. Similarly like other points contribution in work very important because Authority without Responsibility and Responsibility without Authority both leads to failure and make person ineffective.

Similarly is leader have positive attitude toward work he/she bring company to great success and make their team feel proud to be part of his/her team. But if attitude is negative or mean then everything happen opposite. Moving a head delegate of authority helps him to complete work quickly and which also make him/her more trustful among the team.
