In many workplaces today teamwork is encouraged and emphasized.
As employees, our ability to succeed depends on our ability to work with
a number of people, many of whom differ from us by race, gender, culture,
background, education, thinking styles, etc.
Leveraging the full contribution, creativity, innovation and potential
of all team members is fundamental to the teams' ability to become high
producing and to be fully functioning.
