It is a fact that after becoming adults we have to go to work in order to make money. Some people think it is important for employees to know how to work with other people as part of a team while others think it is more important to be able to function independently. I think that it is more important to be able to function in a group in order to put out higher quality work and to be able to fit into the modern day working environment.
First of all, you can produce a high quality of work when working with others. There is an old saying that goes ‘two heads are better than one’. With that in mind, it only stands to reason that if you have a team of people working together towards the same goal, the results will be better. No two people think alike, so if you have a group working together, the chances are that individuals are going to come up with ideas or solutions to problems that the others in the group did not think of. Suppose you are working on a marketing team, everyone comes from different backgrounds and each worker knows the minds of different kinds of people. In that case, a marketing team is able to come up with a plan that will cover the largest segment of society. A person working alone will not understand how the majority think; thus, his or her plan will cover a far smaller segment.
In addition, it is necessary for people today to be able to function in a group. The working environment in the modern world is different than it was in the past. One hundred years ago, people could sufficiently complete the workload assigned to them because it was on a smaller scale. However, business today is global and it is nearly impossible for one worker to cover all tasks that need to be done. That is why it is necessary for people to be able to function in a group. If they are unable to do so, they will meet with little success while those who can work in a team will make advancements within their companies. In the past, taking initiative and doing everything on your own would usually ensure success, but business in the modern era is a group effort.
To sum up, while there are still careers where people can do better on their own than in a group, the majority of businesses require a team functioning like a well-oiled machine. The ability to produce high-quality work and the shape of the business world nowadays make it necessary to work as part of a team.
