In today’s society, no organization, whether corporate, political, educational, sports or family related, can survive without teamwork. Is there any doubt about whether teamwork allows people to take on more and more complex tasks in a changing environment and get better results than an individual could when working alone? Tasks are interrelated and we need one another. However, we have all experienced situations where working as a team has not turned out the way we planned. What can be done to make teamwork effective? In the paper “Trabajo en equipo” (“Teamwork”), IESE Professor of Managing People in Organizations Pablo Cardona and IESE associate researcher Helen Wilkinson suggest delving into the talent and the position that each team member holds in order to form productive work groups.
