abstract: Some tasks are better accomplished by a successful team effort. Teams do not replace individual achievement; however, some ethical dilemmas cannot be resolved by individuals. Teams and teamwork are defined within the context of a case study. Types of teams, factors that strengthen teams, and circumstances that threaten teams are presented.
