Collaboration

I think the effectiveness of a team is strongly based on how well the team members can take eachothers faults and weaknesses and turn them into positives. Every team member must be able to work with one another because as it is said, "A team is only as strong as its weakest link."

Collaboration is different from group work in that everyone must do their part in a project. When youre doing plain group work someone can do the whole project and turn it in for the group. But, collaborating takes parts from each person in the group and turns it into a whole.
