THERE IS NO ' I ' IN TEAM
Teamwork is simply a bunch of different people with different talents and different opinions and different ways of doing things being united for a common purpose or goal. If you want to be an effective part of a team you have to stay focused on the purpose or goal of the team and you have to be ready to work with others without insisting that the team always do things your way. It's a good thing to offer your opinion, especially if you have expertise in a certain area, but butting heads with people on your team is counterproductive. You also need to understand where you fit into the team. Think of a football team -- not everyone can be a quarterback or a wide receiver; somebody has to play guard and someone else has to play linebacker, so where you fit is largely based on what you bring to the table and what job you're best suited for. The most important part of being a part of a team is to treat the other team members with respect and also convey to them that they are important to you because they're a part of YOUR team. You're no better than they are, and as the old team acronym states "Together Everyone Achieves More."
I think that it is an oft misused term. You often hear it used in say, an office situation, where each employee has a clearly defined role. In such a situation, I prefer to think of things in terms of employee roles and their specific responsibiliteis. It is very popular in the public sector, where I think that it is used to blur individual responsibilties behind a smoke screen of 'we are a team'. It all sounds a bit namby pamby and female to me.

However, I have to admit that it probably has merit in a psychological sense. Helping each other out when necessary, even though it may not fall within your specific resposibility. This can be easily abused, however. There are situations where the term, 'team' is appropriate. Say, a tug o war team. There, your effort has to be coordinated toward achieving ONE common goal.
it means looking at the whole situation of what you and other people are in. recognizing other people's needs and abilities, and understanding and not stepping on their weaknesses. listen to people and genuinely valuate their opinion and ideas and start mixing the two together and coming up with ideas of your own.
listening, caring ,watching, and learning from other opeopl.showing cratitude for their work and learning to help others without compromising yourself.
