Teamwork is acknowledged as the most important aspect of any enterprise. The concept of teamwork seems to be misunderstood by many people and businesses. Teamwork is built around a leader as he or she is there to organize the team and guide it in the most productive manner. The importance of this leadership skill is shown in the education devoted¹ to teaching it. Good leadership depends on being able to use the personality of the team in an efficient way. A leader is able to use each member of the team as they contribute to the project. This entails² listening to their suggestions and applying them if they prove useful. This cooperation between team-members and leaders has proved successful in ventures where they are applied³. Germany is excellent in how teamwork in companies can be used to further the success of business. The German economy was destroyed at the end of World War II. They overcame this, quickly rebuilding and becoming economically successful by using teamwork and focusing on the quality of the product. German engineering in such fields as automobiles⁴ is famous around the world for these qualities. The importance of team-members is also a basic part of any team. Team-members have the responsibility to fully⁵ dedicate themselves to the team and participate in the project. Once the leader makes the decision to do something, the team-members should fully back up this decision by devoting themselves to fulfilling the task assigned. Success is not guaranteed, but a team that is not in cooperation is guaranteed to fail.

每个企业都视团队协作精神为最重要的方面。团队协作的概念似乎被很多人和企业所误解。团队协作围绕一个领导而建立，他用最有效方式来组织和指导团队。这种领导技能的重要性体现在致力于传授此项技能的教育中。好的领导能力取决于能够有效地利用团队的特征。领导者可以调动团队的每一位成员，使之为完成项目共同努力。这就需要听取他们的建议并在建议被证明有用的情况下应用建议。事实证明，这种领导和成员之间的合作在运用团队协作的事业中是成功的。德国人很擅长将公司内部的团队协作用于促进公司成功。德国经济在二战末期崩溃。他们克服困难，迅速重新崛起，通过团队协作以及关注产品质量而在经济发展上得以成功。在汽车等领域，德国工程设计因其质量世界闻名。团队成员的重要性也是任何团队的基础。团队成员有责任献身于团队，参与项目工作。一旦领导决定做某事，团队成员就应该全力支持这一决定，投身于指派的工作之中。尽管不能保证成功，但不进行协作的团队注定会失败。
