Participant comments about how teamwork impacted their success: 

·         It was a very good tool for teams that have not routinely worked together. All project team members had to be on the same page with regards to the end goal – being able for team to focus to get to goal.  

 

·            It takes a “team” approach + trust in the individuals to make the team work.  Listening to others; being open to everyone’s ideas; as a team everything pulls together easier and more complete. 

 

·            Believing in what you are doing.  Putting structure in place to accomplish goals.  In order to react quickly to situations, visions must be communicated.  Along with that, it has to be “bought” by all team members in order for people to work to a common goal. 

 

·            Working together as a team and also choosing a team leader to ensure we are completing the goals.  Once everyone is on the same page, it is easily accomplished.  But everyone must buy into the idea., 

 

·            Respecting the individuals you work with and allow everyone the opportunity to participate in the task.  With good leadership & a vision, a lot can be accomplished in short time and with limited resources. 

 

·            Having a cooperative & cohesive agenda; we worked well as a team, but it could have turned out bad if someone had a different agenda or idea.  Every person has something to contribute to the company/team’s success. 

 

·            How well people need to work with each other and the value of having many different ideas and specialties.  Leadership to convey group structure and vision is essential  . 

 

·          It takes all to participate and carry a project. Read the directions thoroughly before anything else; the need for clear leadership. How important patience and listening is to coming up with an idea
