“Individuals play the game, but teams beat the odds.” —Navy SEAL team saying

Teamwork is a test of one’s ability to trust and collaborate with others.

Companies are always trying to strengthen it and independent employees crave it when they’re not in a group setting.

Whether you’re working with people who are directly on your team, affiliated with your company, or neither, the eyes and hands of a group can often come up with new and innovative ways to solve problems that the individual hadn’t thought of in the past. Hosting corporate outings and designing a workspace that encourages conversation are some of the many great ways to build a teamwork mentality among professionals from varying backgrounds and with different levels of experience.
