More diverse needs of the community, so that people face in work and study in the circumstances and environment is extremely complex. In many cases, individual ability alone is very difficult to completely deal with complex issues and take effective and efficient operations. All of these require people to form groups and ask each other to rely on further between members, interrelated and work together to establish cooperative teams to solve complex problems, and coordinate the necessary actions. The development team's response capabilities and sustained innovation rely on the power of teamwork to create a miracle..Ordering by the first wolf and other wolves in its place. The facilities of its staff, howling sound of the ups and downs and interactive, with the tacit understanding, are orderly and not chaotic Wolfs' head snarl. The main who courageously forward and feint, and then were evasive action, those who snapped back and howl with its strong . Lone wolf is not strong, but the collective strength of the wolf to appear before the target, but the performance of a powerful attack. The success of wolf hunting process in a number of factors, the strict order of collective organization and efficient teamwork is one of the most obvious and important factor. This shows the importance of teamwork.Team not only emphasizes the individual's work, more emphasis on the team's overall performance. Team is not only relies on the collective discussion and decision-making but also strengthen information sharing and standards. which emphasizes the contributions by members to gain real collective results, the team is greater than the parts sum. The core team is a common devotion. This requires a common dedication to convince members to whom the target. Only a practical and a challenging target in order to stimulate the team's motivation and dedication, boundless energy into the work. So the team is to achieve the objectives set by the apparent voluntary cooperation and concerted efforts of the spirit. It can mobilize all the resources of team members and intelligence, and will automatically get rid of all the discord and injustice, and it will give those sincere and selfless dedication by an appropriate return. If the team is out voluntarily, it will produce a powerful and enduring force.Teamwork describes both qualitative and functional characteristics when two or more people begin to act like a team. The qualitative meaning of the team is apparent in such everyday expressions as :'we worked closely together', 'we always helped each other', 'we were all focused on a common goal', 'it was a team effort, everyone contributed', and the like. The qualitative meaning of teamwork is that it describes two or more people who are closely knit around a common purpose, whowork easily together, who exhibit a good bit of trust toward each other who respect each other and who have positive work relationships. The functional meaning of teamwork is that it describes that condition in which no one person can produce a specified result or perform a specified task. Teamwork here means only that two or more people worked together and produced something that could not be achieved by one person alone. It does not describe how well they worked together, but only that they co-operated sufficiently to perform their work.Through teamwork, you can create a working atmosphere, so that each team has a sense of belonging, help to improve team members' enthusiasm and efficiency.

It is this sense of belonging so that each member feels for the team effort but also for their own goals, as well as other members together for this goal to stimulate a stronger incentive to work, so the target initiative will contribute with their own wells, which makes the efficiency higher than when the individual alone.Through teamwork, team members will help to stimulate the motivation to help improve the team's overall capacity. Most people's heart has hope others respect their desire to have unyielding psychological and have the desire to keep improving. These psychological factors are unconsciously motivated to enhance the members, so that members are not conscious of the demands on themselves to progress and strive to be the best team to win the respect of other employees.

In this constantly motivate them to help improve the team's overall capacity. Team members are internal competition. There is a certain degree of excitation , and this comes from the psychological desire among team members, but this desire to control, among team members to avoid personal heroism affect the team's overall combat capability.The model does not view team development and performance as finally dependent on such variable as the nature of the task and quality of the environment. The model communicates the view that team development and performance are largely a function of a work unit's decision to be a team regardless of such variables as task and environment.
