I agree that teams are essential to most people. Sometimes there are not enough hours in the day to do everything that needs to get done. Working as a team helps to complete things in a short period of time. We learn from an early age that team work is important not everything will be able to be done by one-person multiple people working in the same direction can help complete tasks more efficiently. I was a recruiter for the military for several years convincing individuals to become a member of a team with something I had to do. One of the things I like to tell new recruits is nothing is impossible. If someone asks you to pick up a car by yourself that would be hard to do but what you cant do, we can. Although teamwork can be challenging with different people from different backgrounds different religions and different cultures. I find it is those things that make the strongest teams. I know Ive said it before if there were only five more of me that would be the perfect team. But the more Ive learned its the people from different backgrounds with different ideas coming together that make the best teams.

Human beings are social, and this makes us strive to be a part of teams. According to our reading this week small groups are a very important aspect to social formation and therefore being a part of a team or teams is essential for human beings (Adams & Gaines, 2018). Throughout my life experiences I have found that being a part of a team helps to develop creative thinking and to open your mind for other ideas. There have been many times that I may be thinking of something in one manner and then once someone else throws out their ideas it opens my mind up to a totally different aspect of the problem. If we did not work in teams, we would long for interaction and most likely would not have as much success in many aspects of our lives. Like I mentioned, being in a team can open our minds and help us think of new possibilities that we may not think of on our own. Therefore, teams can help us to develop a successful outcome.

I do agree with the statement that “teams are essential to our everyday lives”. Regardless of an individual’s job or lifestyle, it is very common that teams always present and necessary. A team is defined as a group of people who work together to accomplish a task. One may think that teams aren’t important if someone is in business by themselves right? That may seem accurate however, it is not. Every business has employees in order to properly run a business. These employees are considered a team based on the definition. This proves that teams are everywhere.
In my current occupation teams are extremely important and necessary. As a GNA, my coworkers and I are required to work together in order to provide the best care possible to our residents. Not working together not only prolongs the work day for ourselves but it also limits the care that the residents receive. As in many other jobs it’s easier for everyone to just work together!
