Introduction

In the literature, one of the most discussed topics is the management of teamwork. More and more managers are convinced that teamwork is the path to success and performance.

This report tried to touch all the aspects that highlight the effectiveness of a team within an organization, such as cooperation, communication, understanding, information sharing between team members, leadership, confronting differences of opinion.

Availability on teamwork is a requirement in current job ads and the presence of the necessary qualities or their lack can be decisive factors in hiring a person or in keeping it in an organization. The need for teamwork became increasingly obvious as human resource policies evolved and companies began to consider the need for communication and human contact of their employees, realizing the superior motivational value of dialogue and mutual support in a team, so this report will explain how factors like motivation and performance management can help to improve organisational performance.

What is a team?

No matter where, the basis of social life is how individuals combine imagination and collective effort to achieve common goals. Over time, it has been shown that any major change has been the result of collective group effort of people who, endowed with talent, skills and motivation, have managed to lay the foundations of projects that are impossible to accomplish individually. In this sense, we can take as an example the Apollo 11 mission (Nasa, 2019), a mission that marked the history of mankind through the collective work of a crew.

“A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.” (Katzenbach and Smith, 1993 cited in Sheard and Kakabadse, 2004, p.13). At the base of each team reside knowledge, skills, respect, loyalty, and trust.
