Communication and teamwork: why they are important for me?

What are communication and teamwork? Communication is all about the process of transmitting our information to other people. Teamwork basically meant how well a group of people manage to work together. In the technological world today, many projects are completed by team. Teams are very important to make sure the projects finish successfully. Teams involved in many activities like develop a product, solving a problem, or any other kind of work related. For a successful teamwork, there are many elements that are important. Communication is one of the key elements for successful teamwork.


Teamwork is important in our workspace. We will be able to do so much more is one of the good reasons for using teams. It is important because it can complete something that is impossible for just one person to do. No task is too hard when we have good team that willing to do anything just to achieve success. The most important thing of using teamwork is achieving something more than one person could do alone. Effective teamwork also helps us exchange new knowledge with other team member and fosters a strong team member relationship.

In order to achieve good teamwork, communication plays an important role in forming good teams. Communication allows the teams to know more of each individual’s idea and their point of view. In order for our team to work effectively together, we need to practice communication in every team. Initiative of communicate need to be taken by the entire member in the team for a good communication. A fail team is when they are not actively communicating.


Communication is also one of the most important elements in successful relationships. We all know that communication is necessary to maintain any relationship loving and strong. Relationships are essential to us, no matter what age, nationality or sex, without it, our life will be boring, empty and lonely. But with relationships, lives can be fun and fulfilling. Relationships can be good, but can also give many headaches due to bad communication skill.


Teamwork is a foundation for a strong future. In order to move ahead in the world, understanding the importance of teamwork is essential. In any team building activities, this should be inside. Discuss about how the team feels about teamwork and what it means to team members as individuals. Knowing the how important of teamwork is a must to ensure that good and effective teamwork.

  1. Hi Jeisern,

    I agree with your points about teamwork and communications especially the part about relationships.Nowadays couples just quarrel and break up just for small things.The reason is they do not know how to communicate properly.With proper communication quarrels and a lot of unhappy incidents can be prevented.You can improve by elaborating on how to communicate better between one another so that there will not be any misunderstandings between people.Perhaps you can also add some examples of good communication to make the article more interesting.

  2. Hey Jeisern,

    I like how you gave so many examples of what benefits effective communication and teamwork and bring for us. It is true that in the society we live in, we are constantly working as teams, to achieve a common goal. As such, in one way or another, we have to constantly depend on someone else and be depended on by someone as well. Hence, this is one instance where effective communication comes in. To let your teammates know why they can depend on you to finish your task.

    Regarding your conclusion, 'teamwork is a foundation for a strong future'. This statement does not only apply to the future, but has also held true for our forefathers. What we have today is not the work of an individual, but rather, the work of many individuals coming together with a common goal, that is a better future. Thus. what we enjoy today is testament of the importance of teamwork.

    Last but certainly not least, i think it would be nice to include several examples on how to achieve effective communication, and maybe add in a personal touch, like with a personal experience that you've had with regards to communication or teamwork.

  3. Hey Jeisern,

    Great post! You have certainly touched on all the aspects of communication and teamwork. Unlike Andy, I think teamwork will be ever more important in the future. Perhaps even more so than in the past. Sure our forefathers needed to work as a team to help build up our society, but as the global community gets in touch with more citizens of the world, there is a greater purpose out there: To ensure we do not let our cultural differences interfere with our progress as an entire world.

    On another note, you could add a little multimedia aid to spice up your post :)

  4. Hi Jeisern,

    I appreciate how much effort you have put in to explain how communication and teamwork forms the bedrock of society. Certainly no society could have progressed very far without a good measure of both communication and teamwork.

    One thing I would like to suggest is that you might want to consider using the same paragraphing style throughout your post. This makes the post looks more professional and consistent. Sorry if I keep harping on the small details but i feel that attention to details makes readers more willing to read the post. This is another type of effective communication :)
