Besides the knowledge in their particular fields, employees must always have additional skills -those of co-operation. In the case that work tasks can only be carried out by communicating with people, accepting common decisions, solving problems, sharing information and helping one another, teamwork skills are vital. While some jobs may require talent, the ability to work as a team is learned. There are no complicated formulas; you dont need to have any special qualities or exceptional mental abilities. Individuals can be effective as a team if they have developed certain behaviors or habits of communication. Many companies, clubs and organizations use team building activities. Team building activities may include a number of teamwork elements. They are aimed at encouraging active participation in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team. Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共识) is encouraged. Team building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member skills, talents, knowledge, and experiences which allow the team members to learn more about each other and fully utilize those skills where appropriate. Many team activities are focused on developing keys to trust during challenging times.36、 In the authors opinion, which of the following is vital for a company to be successful? A. Specialized knowledge. B. Highly-skilled staff. C. Exceptional talent. D. Teamwork skills.37、 According to the second paragraph, co-operation skills _. A. require special qualities and abilities B. are learned while working in a team C. need exceptional mental abilities D. are quite complicated to learn38、 Team building activities are good for _.
