  others. People tend to be more concerned about

Potential problems without working as a team

• The diverse cultural values of individuals whom
  work in a team could result in conflict. Without
  accepting these values in the team continual
  conflict will be inevitable.
• The individual members perception of the
  situation may be different due to expectations
  within the team. Without clear and consist goals
  conflict may occur.
• Different personality types may contribute to
  conflict. Dislike of a few individuals or
  favoritism with contribute to potential problems.
• Competition among individuals in a team may cause
  potential problems. Each members needs to feel as
  a equal part of the team and their work is also
  equally satisfactory.
• Reactions to failure may also contribute to
  problems of working as a team.. Not understanding
  that failure is a part of teamwork as well as
  success a team may never grow.

Ending Thought

• If you want to build a ship, don't drum up
  people together to collect wood and don't assign
  them tasks and work,

but rather teach them to long for the endless
immensity of the sea.
