Innovations in Training for Team Work

Abstract

The concept of team work is as old as the civilization of mankind. Looking back into most of the adventures like conquering the mighty Mount Everest or winning the most difficult wars or the construction of the wonders of world like the Taj Mahal or the giant Pyramids, team work remained in focus as a process to achieve success while carrying out these adventures & tasks. Perhaps the strength & value in working together for a common cause by the prehistoric man might have been realized while hunting wild animals for food. Working together with selected people having strength, interdependency, required knowledge and skills might have given the concept of group. Literature on ~groups' suggests that the essential characteristics of a work group may be - a definable membership, group consciousness, sense of shared purpose, inter dependence, interaction & ability to work in a unified manner
