I removed the cleanup tag after wikifying and revising slightly. I thought it was a good article and didn't really deserve the cleanup tag unless it was just for wikification, so I tried to tread lightly, but whether or not I achieved that goal, I don't know. What I do know is that Wikipedia is from what I've seen so far is a pretty good example of teamwork. Spalding 23:31, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is a good example of teamwork. Wikipedia in order to have an effective team uses the three most common items needed to have a good team that is sucessful. These items are Training, Communication, and Follow Up. Don't ever get the "It's Not My Job" syndrome. --B Rieckmann 00:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Should the "teamwork" article merge with "team building"? Teamwork seems to me more a self-organizing team dynamic while team building is more a directed, linear dynamic. I would say keep the articles separate.
These related activities should not be confused. People are just retarded.
[edit] Merge to Team building: yes or no?
The merge tag's been up there forever. Decide.
- No merge. Different concepts. --Alvestrand 13:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
* No merge - you build a team and get the staff to be team players. Building a team is using strategies and plans to convince people to work and gel together - but team player is a culture that staff are encouraged to be a part of and engage in so that they work as a team.
[edit] untitled (and odd) comments
Team player - a phrase or ethos that means you can get staff to do anything you want in return for a few very small concessions (like you or staff being able to leave 2 minutes before your shift in the office is finished because the computer clock is different from the phone clock and well...it's only 2 minutes right?).
Stop being a team player and...they point out that stuff, call the situation sad, say how upset and disappointed they are that you are not being a team player, not one of the group...
Whoever came up with team player needs to have their head examined.
It works in theory - but only in theory and only if all the people involved are of the same mind set or whatever.
I think you need to consider the effects of team building on a team? Does it even effect them? You can't merge them until you assess this! Coldelephant 0902 (GMT) 03 November 2006
Teamwork may not be applicable to every work environment but I know that without teamwork theatre productions, tv productions and all things similar just wouldn't come together as well as they can. Plays I've been in where all the members of the cast were really working together to create something, have been the most successful productions I've been involved in. But I appreciate that teamwork is not necessarily as integral in an office environment where it can create unhealthly competition.
