relationships. Bad relationships result in weak communications and a lack of networking
with each other. Consequently, team members cannot work effectively together. Apart
from poor leadership skills, poor time management or poor budgeting may also cause
the whole team to fail.
27.3. Do children need to know more about teamwork?
Of course they do. Children need instruction in effective teamwork for a wide variety
of reasons. When learning about teamwork, not only are children learning
to work as a
team, they're also learning to actively listen and respond in a way that makes the group
effort more effective. It’s beneficial for their ability to interact socially. In addition to
that, working in a team helps children learn to reflect on their individual experience
versus the experience of the group. They often get feedback from their instructor and
other members of the group. Self-reflection contributes a lot to a child’s development.
27.4. Is cooperation more important than competition?
Actually, I can’t tell which one works better in general. On the one hand, by competing
against others and comparing ourselves with one another, we learn how to improve
and achieve success. On the other hand, in some cases, competition leads directly to
hostility and greed, both of which are the enemies of progress. Cooperation also has
certain advantages and disadvantages. The main strength is that cooperation provides
the chance to help other people and
let them help you in return, while the biggest
weakness of cooperation is that the mass of members may lose interest and let a small
clique take over affairs and manage things for their own benefit. So, I would say that it
depends on each situation as to whether cooperation
or competition is more
important.
