quotations about teamwork
Two heads are better than one.
POLISH PROVERB

Teamwork, thus defined, collides head-on with an organization's traditional structure characterized by multiple layers of management, rigidly defined functional, product, and/or geographical lines, and often an awesome number of rules and regulations.
