236 students of Govt junior college palaka, Chittoor District.

The answer is very simple. You must have seen football match or hockey match or cricket match. Have you ever noticed what is behind their victory or loss, the approach which plays it and execute, this is the idea of team and power of team work.

                                                                                     

Helen Keller, the most famous activist for the disabled said, “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much”.

Teamwork:

Teamwork is defined as co-operation between those who are working on a task. It is generally understood as the willingness of a group of people to “work together” to achieve a “common aim / The word TEAM stands for Together, Everyone, Achieves, More. Think of the times when you have worked in a team either at school, or in your colony, at your home, or at any other places.

Collaboration:

Is collaboration same as teamwork? In collaboration, individuals are partners that share work as well as ideas and insights. While competition is good, collaboration is better.

Let us understand the difference between competition and collaboration. In the spirit of competition, some succeed and some fail. Whereas in the spirit of collaboration, the focus is more on how we work together as a team and contribute to the overall success, rather than individual success

How does an individual benefit from being part of a team or a collaboration?

“The spirit of collaboration says, we come together and win together.”

 An intense level of coordination and collaboration within the team has to be maintained always to succeed.

Now, in teamwork, individuals perform their own roles to contribute to the achievement of a goal. But, in collaboration, it is one step further.

in a Competition, the idea of ‘me’ and ‘you’ still exists. While in Collaboration, the ‘me’ and ‘you’ merge into the idea of ‘us’, which is most dominant, promoting unity, harmony and a sense of sharing within teams
