Abstract: The concept of teamwork is as old as the civilization of mankind. Looking back into most of the adventures like conquering the mighty Mount Everest or winning the most difficult war or the construction of the wonders of world, such as the Taj Mahal or the giant Pyramids, teamwork among other things was the main instrument to achieve success. Perhaps (he strength and value in working together for a common cause by the prehistoric man might have been realised while hunting wild animals for food. Working together with selected people having unique strengths, interdependence, complementary knowledge and skills might have given birth to the concept of group. Literature on group dynamics suggests that the essential characteristics of a work group may be - a definable membership, group consciousness, sense of shared purpose, interdependence, coordination and ability to work in a unified manner.
