Teamwork\/Collaboration falls under the Intellectual Toolkit Capacity.<\/em><\/p>\n

Training in and the practical experience of teamwork teaches the process of innovation, develops leadership, and fosters knowledge of one\u2019s own strengths and appreciation for those of others.<\/p>\n

Collaboration defines the 21st-century workplace. Employers rely increasingly on teams\u2014groups of people with different backgrounds and training who tackle projects jointly\u2014and they identify the ability to collaborate with these diverse groups as an essential skill for almost every position. Civic life in an increasingly interdependent world also calls more and more for the ability to collaborate with people from different backgrounds and with different perspectives, build consensus, and compromise for the good of a broader purpose.<\/p>\n
