The term "team" can be deceiving. There are pitfalls. An employee can be lulled into a false sense of safety and security and they feel they can say anything that would help the corporation survive. That is not always the case. Let's say that you see a manager that you feel is not pulling their weight, so for the good of the team, you announce that the manager should be fired. One could very easily end up on the outside looking in.

Employees should always remember that they are working for themselves and not for a team or a company. You play whatever game the company wants to play - including the teamwork game. You take notes or learn how to read the tea leaves. There will always be hidden rules to any game; never let your guard down.

What is a team? definition and meaning - BusinessDictionary.com


A team is a group of people working on a project or program together. What's not to understand?

A team/chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

I'm totally a team player. But it's difficult when not everyone does their part.

How was the awkward silence that ensued?
