2. Why teamwork?

3. Good old lessons in teamwork from an age-old fable The Tortoise And The Hare

4. That’s not true. The fastest runner is me! I’m the fastest runner. Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster.

5. Fine! Ok, let’s have a race. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race.

6. Poor guy! Even if I take a nap, he could not catch up with me. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race.

7. He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep.

8. The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ.

9. The hare woke up and realized that he'd lost the race.

10. The moral of the story is thatslow and steady wins the race. This is the version of the story that we've all grown up with.

11. The story continues …

12. Why did I lose the race? The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some soul-searching. He realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident, careless and lax. If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise could have beaten him.

13. Ok. Can we have another race? So he challenged the tortoise to another race. The tortoise agreed.

14. This time, the hare went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. He won by several miles.

15. The moral of the story? Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady. It's good to be slow and steady; but it's better to be fast and reliable.

16. But the story doesn't end here …

17. How can I can win the hare? The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realized that there's no way he can beat the hare in a race the way it was currently formatted.

18. Can we have another race? This time we’ll go through a different route. Sure! He thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race, but on a slightly different route. The hare agreed.

19. Goal They started off. In keeping with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the hare took off and ran at top speed until he came to a broad river. The finishing line was a couple of kilometers on the other side of the river.

20. What should I do? The hare sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime the tortoise trundled along, got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking and finished the race.

21. The moral of the story? First identify your core competency and then change the playing field to suit your core competency. Working to your strengths will not only get you noticed, but will also create opportunities for growth and advancement.

22. The story still hasn't ended …

23. The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends and they did some thinking together. Both realized that the last race could have been run much better.

24. Great! I think we could do it much better, if we two help each other. Hi, buddy. How about doing our last race again? Hi, buddy. How about doing our last race again? So they decided to do the last race again, but to run as a team this time.

25. They started off, and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the riverbank.

26. There, the tortoise took over and swam across with the hare on his back.

27. On the opposite bank, the hare again carried the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together. They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction than they'd felt earlier.

28. Let’s go and build stronger teams!

29. What is team work?

31. Goals,

32. Work together,

34. Forming This is when a group first gets together. People tend to find out about each other, consider purposes, brainstorm ideas and possible structures for tasks and consider their own roles within the group. This is usually a very sociable time in the life of the group. During this stage, productivity is low.

35. Storming Characterized by competition and strained relationships among team members. There are various degrees of conflict dealing with issues of power, leadership and decision- making. This is the most critical stage for the team.

36. Norming Characterized by cohesiveness among members. In this phase, members realize their commonalities and learn to appreciate their differences. Functional relationships are developed resulting in the evolution of trust among members.

37. Performing The team now possesses the capability to define tasks, work through relationships, and manage team conflicts by themselves. Communication is open and supportive. Members interact with without fear of rejection. Leadership is participative and shared. Different viewpoints and information is shared openly. Conflict is now viewed as a catalyst that generates creativity in the problem-solving process.

38. Mourning Having satisfactorily got through the group tasks, if the group has been successful in working together, despite initial tensions and conflicts, we often see members sad to leave each other. This is where mutual respect and achievement is felt most significantly. Future individual tasks may seem more mundane in comparison and in feedback it often comes through that this has been a very memorable task in comparison to others. Often sub-groups form from the larger groups to continue with personal or professional development interests.
