Communication has several of definitions but they all are telling the same meaning.
some of the definitions are:
- communication is the process where by one person or more through international use of verbal, nonverbal or mediated messages.
- communication is a two-way process of reaching mutual understanding in witch participants not only exchange information, news, ideas, and feelings but also create and sheer meaning.
- Business Dictionary,(2018).
- Figure 1.3, basic Model of communication(2018).
And how do I define it as:
- communication is sending information and resaving response either by speaking or writing or by sign language.
Good communication makes good results, from the team because, if the team leader knew how to communicate the leader would give clear orders and that will prevent a misunderstanding from happening.
Who is the team leader ?

Belbin, R. Meredith (1996),team roles at work.
And if you knottiest that five of the team roles has two strengths and two weaknesses.
So if a team leader know the strength and weakness of the team mates the leader will give each team mate what there roles are based on that will save time and will make the team mates have more chance of showing there creativity and they will have fun accomplishing their jobs. That will make perfect team work.
What is the meaning of team work?
is when a team collaborate to achieve a common goal or to complete a task in the most effective way.
Montebello, Anthony; Buzzotta, victor (1993), ”work teams that work”.
Conclusion:
In my opinion communication and team work are really important with no communication there will not be any team work and the team will be a mess and not organized and it will be really hard to accomplish there goal and the team mates will not be satisfied not in the process nor the result so to keep the team satisfied the leader must know each of the team mates roles to give every team mate what suits theme in a way that they can express there creativity an the job that they are really good at.
So the question is:
Have any of you ever thought that communication is a really important thing in making a team working perfectly?
