Teamwork, do we need it in business?

Teamwork is one of the essence of business, online and offline.

Why do you say so? You maybe ask. 
"I can do this alone, I dont need to work with others, I know whats best for me...."

Well maybe you do, or Do you?

Do You really understand what TeamWork is? I cant say I know all about teamwork, but I can at least tell that I have some good experience with it so far, and belive more and more in it.

So What is TeamWork?

Teamwork : number of persons associated in some joined action - business

Where do we Find Teamwork?

On the Football Field, there is a lot of Teamwork, as a football team is like this:

A number of persons forming one of the sides in the Game. And on the other side, there is allso a number of persons do the same.

How would it end you think, if one of the side have had many players and on the other side of the field there stands this one single person?

And an other sample I have for you is this one here:

A Farmer has two or more horses, bull, or other animals harnessed together to draw his plow, or the like.
How you think it will have ended if he should do all this alone?? I dont say he wouldnt manage it at the end, but there is a much bigger chance he would have given up. Dont you belive so too?

An other sample is Working together for a charitable cause builds teamwork and gives the participants a good feeling from working together. An example of a team charitable activity is planning and organizing an 

event like a walk or run to raise money or a bake sale that promotes a cause.

Except for a very small percentage of us, sharing and collaboration with others is not exactly programmed inside each and everyone of us.
This is because each person is mainly concerned about his or her rewards, appreciation, need for power over others, and soon. 

But teamwork is a different "ballgame" that aligns mindsets inacooperative, and usually selfless manner towards a specific business purpose ot goal.

It is always, "What is in it for me" rather than" What is in it for us.

In order for teamwork to succeed one must be a team player. A Team player is one who subordinates personal a spirations and works in acoordinated effort with other members of a group,or team,in striving for a common goal.

So what you think? Teamwork, do we need it in business?, or is it just better to go do it all alone?
