How do you answer 'What makes a good team and what are the benefits of effective teamwork' in a job interview?

Whew!

A good team understands the group mission and each person's role in moving the group toward fulfillment of its mission. If the group has a finite mission, a particular goal to be reached at which time the group will be disbanded, communications can be simple and straightforward with each member having an area of responsibility that adds to a collaborative and clearly defined end. However, when the team's mission is ongoing, the team's mission and individual members' roles may be more fluid and communication more complex. Ideally, each person has autonomy, a sense of their individual contribution to the group's mission, commitment to excellence regarding their contribution, and recognition that part of their role is to communicate, assist and support team members so that each individual, and hence the group, may achieve excellence. In ongoing endeavors, change is necessary, so it is important that reflection, planning, and opportunities for growth are supported. The benefits of effective team work include a sense that the individual and the team have goals, that the goals are worthwhile, and that the members of the team appreciate and support each other's contributions in moving toward those goals.
