Teamwork is very important to me for a number of reasons. I've played football for years and i believe the game is a perfect example of teamwork at its best. No matter how good certain individuals may be if everyone isn't working together toward the common goal of winning then individual talent doesn't mean as much. Everyone has a role, a specific assignment that needs to be achieved, if one person doesn't do their job the whole entire team takes a loss. In the real world its very important to know how to be part of a team because your job could depend on how well you work with others. In one of the articles they mentioned the keys to being a good team member. You have to be able to communicate in order to work out problems that you have with others. Also, you cant blame others for your mistakes, it's important to have the respect of teammates and you wont get it by not taking responsibility for your actions. Those are just some of the things that it takes to be a good team member.
