Teamwork Speech
Teamwork and its Importance to your Success
Jodie Scott Good Afternoon, to the graduating class of Augusta Independent, class of 2015!! How proud we all are of you for achieving this success, and for the future success we know you are capable of accomplishing!! What I am here to touch on with you today is the importance of teamwork.

First, know that life is much more pleasant when you have help to achieve your goals. There is no need to “go it alone” when help is available, or a more successful outcome can be achieved by forming a team to produce the best possible outcome in the shortest period of time. For example, imagine when you created the committee to plan your prom. There is a wonderful example of teamwork. You had a leader, to provide the facilities, timeline, equipment, outside resources, organizational skills (McGraw Hill), and the task structure (Hughes,Ginnett,Curphy) to help you become a cohesive team with a plan of action.

Everyone who contributed surely had different ideas, and some were better than others at certain things, and hopefully everyone worked who would be assigned which task according to their strengths (Hughes,Ginnet, Curphy). Working within your timeframe, with your leader's guidance, I am certain everyone enjoyed and was grateful for your hard work in developing the party to celebrate your last twelve years of dedication. Now, I want to lay out the steps to a successful team for you. A common definition of a team is “A unit of two or more people who interact and coordinate their work to
