Not only do startup teams need a high degree of team work cooperation, but student reports and teams, and even divisions across departments in large companies require teamwork, but many examples of failed teamwork are nothing more than the following four.

Phenomenon 1: Competitive psychology
In the face of fierce competition, many students think that they are “mutual opponents”. Relevant questionnaires show that although 53% of students think that the relationship between college students should be “helping each other and making progress together”, 46% of the students feel the actual existence due to competition in learning, employment and other aspects. The relationship between each other. There are also quite a few students who think that the students are "unrelated" or even "guarding each other". Obviously, one-sided emphasis on the psychology of competition hinders the sense of teamwork among young people.

Phenomenon 2, "negative" tacit understanding
A task was laid down. Because of the lack of teamwork spirit, everyone knew that the task was unrealistic and could not be completed. However, in order to avoid responsibility, they tacitly chose "silence is gold", and no one would like to inform the superior of the actual situation. Leadership - this is a typical "negative" tacit understanding.

Phenomenon 3: Individual heroism
The harm of individual heroism to teamwork is self-evident. this is a true story.
The story of a star employee: A friend told me that when he first became a manager, there was a star employee in his department, doing things faster than anyone else. However, the employee is arrogant, selfish, and looks down on his colleagues, always complaining to the boss about other employees. His style has caused the morale of the whole team to be low, there is no trust between employees, lack of tacit understanding, and extremely inefficient. My friend didn't notice the danger of this phenomenon at first. Instead, he thought that the star employee was a hero, and his efficiency saved the team. Therefore, he reuses and promotes star employees every year. Later, other employees slowly left his department, and finally the entire project failed.
My friend said: "After this lesson, I finally understood that teamwork is more important than personal performance."
I asked him: "After you fired the arrogant star employee?"
He said: "No, my boss fired me first, and then he fired the arrogant employee."
It seems that only abandoning individual heroism can foster a team that performs well overall. People who are excellent but don't know how to be teamwork will only play a negative role in the team.

Phenomenon 4: Because of small loss
In teamwork, collective interests and common goals are the premise and principles of team members' work. Sometimes, in order to ensure the realization of common goals, it is necessary to adjust the previous team and work, which may be related to the personal interests or goals of the team members. In the event of a conflict, people with a sense of teamwork will face it calmly, with the overall situation as the priority, and some people will “be a big loss”. Senior executive due to small loss: At Microsoft, once, Ballmer’s president asked me to reorganize the two R&D teams managed by the two senior vice presidents. From a technical point of view, the two teams should be combined. But in the eyes of the two vice presidents, if they give up control of the team, their position in the company will be shaken. Therefore, they do not trust each other and are unwilling to hand over their own research and development team. In the end, both sides have put up a posture that is rather jade and not sturdy. To be honest, this kind of practice of focusing only on their own "virtual name" regardless of the interests of the entire company is uncompromising. No way, I had no choice but to lift the control of the two vice presidents on the R&D team, and then proceed to merge the team, and only in this way can we maximize the company's interests. Today, when information is so developed, the possibility of success through individual efforts and single-handedness is getting smaller and smaller, and teamwork is becoming more and more important. Therefore, we must always be alert to the emergence of the above four phenomena, and at the same time carefully study the principles and skills of teamwork, only in this way, can truly integrate into the modern society with the theme of cooperation and win-win.
