Explanation of Solution

The main reason for the growth of popularity in teams is because it is very effective and efficient when compared to the work of individuals. Since good team work creates positive synergy where the sum of individual efforts cannot match up to a combined team effort.

Teams have the ability to identify their strengths as well as weaknesses and work in a manner that would take maximum use of the strengths and reduce/improve their weaknesses. Also, teams are flexible and can easily adapt to changing environments. They have the ability to assemble, deploy, refocus and disband.

In good teams, employee motivation, team work and spirit as well as team satisfaction could be seen.
