Team is a collection (group) of people who work intensely with each other to achieve a specific, common goals or objective.

Team is also explained as a small number of who are committed to a common purpose,performance goals and approach, for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.

Teamwork  joint action,all members in the team work together to achieve a common goal regardless preferences or personality. 

Effective leadership promotes teamwork. A leader listens to the need and gives the listening ear to the teammate. If there is good leadership, the teams will benefit from his knowledge and he will be sources of inspiration to the team members.

A good leadership will be able to take charge, motivate and discipline any member that deviate from the norms of the group. He will also make sure all team members are performing to what was expected from them. A good leadership will be able to tolerate the other team member and should be able to maintain a strict discipline.

Teams tend to be a mirror image of their leaders. The form of management and style of   leadership adopted will influence the relationship between the group and the organisation and are major determinants of group cohesiveness. In general terms, cohesiveness will be affected by such things as the manner in which the manager gives guidance and encouragement to the group, offers help and support, provides opportunities for participation, attempts

to resolve conflicts and gives attention to both employee relations and task problems. (Laurie J. Mullins 2004)

According to Riches, one way to improve team performance is to establish agreed norms or rules for how the team is to operate and rigorously stick to them. Norms could address the obligations of individual members to the team, how it will assess its performance, how it  will work together, what motivation systems will be used, how it will relate to customers,

and the mechanisms to facilitate an honest exchange about the team norms and behavior. A 2003 study by the Economic & Social Research Council draws attention to the importance

of social norms among employees and questions whether employees are guided not only by monetary incentives but also by peer pressure towards social efficiency for the workers (Laurie J. Mullins 2004)

Development of the teamwork will come to place with the possibility of a communication mechanism

Communication is essential in passing information and ideas to one another.
