The team spirit concept. Do you find this in many organizations

Team work or rather team spirit is one of the most significant organizational behavioral practices tools which help in maintaining the best sales and sustaining excellent performance (Denison, 2001). It is strongly believed that organizations achieve greater success especially when they are being ran by a team of dedicated members who devote their focus towards getting united in order to achieve common goals together ( Shaw, 2003). Ordinarily teams perform better especially when the spirit of oneness is nurtured well through sound leadership skills and sustained motivation for group activities. Team work incorporates the aspect of working together as a group while team spirit refers to that intrinsic drive towards cooperating and doing things together to achieve common interest.

Team spirit just like team work is cultivated and nurtured by leaders and mangers who create and establish a working environment where each and every one becomes cohesive, feels part and parcel of the organization and attains a feeling of pride for being a member of the team. Team spirit in an organization can only be achieved if only the leader himherself is a team leader (Regina  Salas, 2006). Thus, to achieve team spirit leaders must learn to set the right goals and targets, develop positive attitudes towards people, create enthusiasm and maintain constant motivation when necessary. Many leaders and mangers of great institutions have learned through experience that team spirit is the most significant value in enhancing organizational performance, improving and increasing production (Regina  Salas, 2006). Team spirit is evident in various organizations in well structured patterns to enhance growth.
