A team can be made to achieve short term as well as long term goals. The members are dependent upon each other and work with each other with cooperation. The people of that group work towards the common goal. The team work is essential for the people of the organization so as to work with mutual understanding in the organization. A failure of the team can lead to the failure of the whole organization. One can keep the working of the organization smooth if the team is all efficient and responsible to handle the things. Sometimes the situation is too difficult to be handled by the team so in this case the leader of the team needs to take the essential step. The leadership quality also plays a vital role while handling a team. If a leader is efficient and responsible then the flaws of the team can be covered without any difficulty. The leader of the team can be made by ensuring the quality of confidence and power to take stand against the odds. The team gives recognition to the members and also to the leader. It is the matter of pride for the people to become the part of the thing that gives them recognition and also where the worth of the member of the team is acknowledged. The failure of the team depends upon the composition of the team that is poor. If the team composition is poor then the members are least interested in the development of the organization. The success of the team on the other hand depends upon the composition of efficient members.

Whatever be the team like that of sports team, project team, virtual team etc the management by the leader of the team is required in all the cases. It is essential for the team to adapt itself according to the situation and also work according to the limited resources it is having without complaining about the complications faced by them.

This leads to the happy and efficient team.
