Effective teamwork strategies in the military involve clear goals, defining roles, open communication, effective decision making, managing conflict, and developing cooperation. A team is a group mutually dependent on each other to achieve a common goal. It is the leader's responsibility to link individual goals to the overall goal to ensure motivation. Clear allocation of work reduces conflicts, and individual roles should be valued and known to contribute to the overall success of the team.

26. When groups work together, conflict often erupts. Tell me about a time that conflict occurred in one of your work groups and what you did about it. Tell me what role you play within work groups and why. How would people you work with describe you? Tell me about the most effective contribution you have made as part of a task group or special project team. Tell me about a time you pitched in to help someone finish a project even though it “wasn’t your job.” What was the result? Have you ever been in a position where you had to lead a group of peers? How did you handle it? Tell me about problems you had and how you handled them. What is essential for a team to be successful? Tell me about a time you worked in a cross functional team? Were there different challenges -compared to a departmental task team? Have you ever worked in a virtual team? If so, tell me about this experience. What were the team dynamics? Was the team successful? What would you do differently? If not, what do you perceive to be the advantages and disadvantages of this type of team? How would you suggest creating team cohesiveness in a virtual setting? Tell me about a situation where political power plays affected team dynamics. How did you or could the team have overcome or avoided this situation? Interview Questions With Joshua Pearson a Military Officer

27. When groups work together, conflict often erupts. Tell me about a time that conflict occurred In one of your work groups and what you did about it. Well my group at basic training all had to do a little activity to show how we would work together in a time of conflict. What our recruiters taught us to do was to get the group together and calmly try to solve the problem as a team. A better team means better efficiency.

32. I am sure that in any work environment there are many situations that are in need of some team work. An example is when i worked in a restaurant and all of a sudden 60 people from a play in Lockport came into the restaurant and lets say about half of those were kids. It was a mad house. We were understaffed and had no idea what to do to control the situation. So my coworkers and I took 5 minutes to come up with some sort of a plan. We later then assigned roles to the 6 of us that were working and then took control of the situation. The situation ended up being under control and after our miniature staff meeting we were able to have a well organized plan.
