Teamwork

Name one concept you learned about teamwork in this chapter that you believe will benefit you the most in the workplace, and explain why.

I wish that I could make a PowerPoint of this chapter and present it to my Supervisors and fellow coworkers!!! The concept that struck me the most is FLEXIBILITY. As a team, supervisors and workers have to work together to accomplish all goals. However, sometimes you have supervisors that only want it to be done their way and never will take into consideration that others may have a better approach when trying to get something completed. That's where FLEXIBILITY comes in. The supervisor needs to be flexible when it comes to the workers ideas and thoughts. The workers also have to be willing to accept what the supervisor wants and how they want it. Some supervisors may feel that if they listen to the workers, then that will lower their "status" on the chain, but in reality that will gain them respect from the workers.----I have learned over the past few months to be more flexible when it comes to areas of the workplace. I can not control everything, so I stopped trying. I accepted others ideas and thoughts, and learned to live with them. If I was told to do something that was outside my daily assigned routine, then I did...and just documented it for further references!
