About Teamwork: A Primer

The Emotional and Social Intelligence competency of Teamwork means having the ability to work with others toward a shared goal, participating actively, sharing responsibility and rewards, and contributing to the capability of the team as a whole. This competency leads to greater effectiveness, open communication, and outcomes that are not only successful but can also be innovative and unexpected in positive ways. Along the way, teams build spirit, positive relationships, and a sense of pride and identity.Almost every leadership role in today’s workplace requires leaders who are skilled at working with teams, both as the team leader and as a team member - but doing so with emotional and social intelligence can be a challenge.So how does one develop this competency?
