A
We all enjoy being part of a group—there's no better work than teamwork,right? Actually,I disagree. Teamwork can be hard. In fact,it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own. It's a much better fit for me,and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier.
Personalities can make teamwork difficult. There's often someone on the team that puts their needs first. The team often goes along with this person,whose ideas might not be the best,just the loudest. Just one difficult personality can make teamwork hard. Combine(结合) several challenging personality types,and it's even harder.
Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example,I was once on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group. To successfully work as a team,you need time together—and lots of it.
A final reason why teamwork is difficult is that there's often no training on how to work on a team. You can't just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other. You need to build trust with your team members. Think of football players:They aren't just given a ball and told to play. They practise,and they train.
Team can be hard,but working alone has its challenges too. When my computer doesn't work,I don't have a person to turn to. When I have a great idea,I don't have anyone to share it with to see if it really is a great idea. Don't get me wrong—I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions myself. But now I realize what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and how good teamwork could be if done correctly. And that's useful information—because one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM.

我们都喜欢成为群体的一员——没有比团队合作更好的工作方式了,对吧?实际上,我并不这么认为。团队合作可能会很困难。事实上,团队合作如此困难,以至于我辞去了办公室的工作,开始独自在家工作。这对我来说更合适,这也让我思考为什么团队合作会让我们的工作更困难而不是更容易。
性格会使团队合作变得困难。团队中经常会有把自己的需求放在首位的人。团队通常会附和这个人,而这个人的想法可能不是最好的,只是声音最大的。仅仅一个难相处的性格就会让团队合作变得困难。再结合几种具有挑战性的性格类型,就会更困难了。
在一起的时间不够也会使团队合作具有挑战性。例如,我曾经在一个团队里,我们从来没有足够的时间一起开会。要成功地进行团队合作,你们需要在一起的时间——而且要很多时间。
团队合作困难的最后一个原因是,通常没有关于如何进行团队合作的培训。你不能只是把人们放在一个房间里,然后期望他们能很好地合作。你需要和你的团队成员建立信任。想想足球运动员:他们不只是被给一个球然后就被告知去比赛。他们会练习,也会接受训练。
团队合作可能会很困难,但独自工作也有它的挑战。当我的电脑坏了的时候,我没有人可以求助。当我有一个很棒的想法时,我没有人可以分享它,看看它是否真的是个很棒的想法。别误会我的意思——我仍然喜欢我这个只有一个人的团队,并且喜欢自己做所有重要的决定。但现在我意识到我过去的团队合作出了什么问题,以及如果团队合作得当的话会有多好。而且这是很有用的信息——因为有一天我可能想要把我的“个人团队”变成一个“我们的团队”。
