Question of "Team Player"
Related to the previous artilce "Hidden Knife", "Group Think Symdrome", after more data gathered on 7th Sept
In organisation, there is great emphasis on teamwork. No doubt, teamwork is important in many aspects of organisation life.
At the same time, there is mix-up between teamwork and fellowship! This itself can create problems in cohesiveness of members in an organisation.
I think the mix-up stems from lack of focus on the ultimate purpose for a group of people interacton and dynamic.
For example, a football team requires tremendous amount of teamwork for the purpose to play and game well and win. Every member must play his or her part to contribute towards the common goal.
When the members also exihibit high degree of fellowship, closeness among themselves even outside the games, that is extra bonus.
It is also possible that some members have different prorities, interests and preferences in life outside the games, and do not join in the fellowship, or not exhibiting the same type of chemistry like other members. At the same time, these members carry out their tasks deligently and make good contribution to the end results. Surely you don't accuse these people as not team-players.
In organisation, certain job functions are designed for the incumbents to perform jobs without much interaction with other members. Again, there should not be accusation again them as non team-players if they perform their jobs well, and it may just happen that they do not see the need of extra fellowship with other members.
Likewsie certain job requires a team effort. Even if the members have different preferences, efforts must be made by everyone to achieve the common goal. In this case, teamwork is paramount.
Sadly I observe high emotion and bad sentiments when accusation againt each other as non teamplayer with making distinction between teamwork for a purpose and fellowhip.
In another forum we will disucss how we go about coaching the organisation and the "victim" being accsued as non teamplayer.
