As Easy as 1,2,3
“Uno，dos，tres…”James counted out loud the number of pages in his history report. His older brother，Matt，sat across the kitchen table from him.
“What are you doing now，James？”asked Matt，slightly bothered by James’s loud voice. “I’m trying to study for my math test. I can’t focus on my study if you keep talking.”Matt complained.
“I need to count the number of pages. We need to have at least five pages about the American Revolution. So far I only have three.”
“Why do you have to count out loud？Why does it have to be in Spanish？”Matt asked.
“Because we’re learning our numbers in Spanish class. My Spanish teacher said that speaking to others loudly instead of reading to ourselves will help us with our pronunciation.”
“I’m going to another room，”Matt said as he picked up his books.
“Okay，but you’ll be sorry when the day comes that I know Spanish and you don’t,” James joked.
A few weeks later，James and Matt visited the local grocery store. While they were there，Matt saw a sign written in Spanish.
“Jam
es，”Matt said to his brother.“Do you know what this sign says？”Matt asked，expecting James to stare at the sign without understanding.
To Matt’s surprise，James read the sign out loud.“The sign says，‘Hello. Welcome to our store，” James said. Matt was surprised. He knew that James had been practicing Spanish，but he did not realize that his brother was advancing that quickly.
“I can also read that sign over there，”James said，pointing to a sign warning customers about the wet floor.
“Well，James，”Matt said as they walked out of the store.“I’m impressed by how quickly you are learning to speak Spanish.”
“Spanish is easy and fun to learn，”James replied，smiling with confidence.“You should practice with me. We could both speak Spanish at home.”
Matt thought about James’s remark and said，“That’s a great idea！”

Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors tha

An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.
Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s opinions.
Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that settles them quickly is much better.
