What is Teamwork?
According to Merriam-Webster, in simple terms …Teamwork is (noun, uncountable): “the work done by people who work together as a team to do something”
In Virtual situations or Real Life it sums up to ‘working together to achieve a common objective’ - there is no difference to the ‘work’ involved just the mechanics differ.
