The idea behind it is that a group of people working together can achieve much more than if the individuals of the team work on their own. 1 How effective a team is depends in part on bringing together people who have different skills that somehow complement （互补）each other. 2 In fact, teaming up people who share the exact same characteristics is often a recipe for disaster.The interest that the group has in the project strongly influences its effectiveness. If the job is too easy or too difficult? Or if the rewards for achieving the end result do not seem worth the effort, the team may end up working half-heartedly. 3 Working towards a specific goal improves the effectiveness of a team significantly.Sometimes, groups end up making decisions which they know are not in the best interest of the project. 4 Conflict is innate （天生的）to any work done in groups. So it should be taken as part of the challenge rather than as something to be avoided by compromising.5 As conflicts arise, it is important to know how to deal with them. Teams should decide what is allowed and what is not, how the team will deal with disagreements, and whether open discussion is favored or whether the group will vote on major decisions. Knowing what to expect and having the plan will make the process of working in group much easier.AThe task should also have a clear outcome.BThe purpose is just to keep the process moving.CThe process typically involves four different steps.DAt this point, the members determine the rules of the group.E.
