I enjoy both working as team & also alone. I enjoy working with people, getting different ideas, trying different way of doing things, but I also enjoy the solitude of working alone. It really depends on the job & or the mood I am in. I like being part of team with a common goal, but I like having responsibility for my own tasks. What do you like working as a team or working as alone ?

It depends on what is working for in short,to work independently and to complete the work can't only play to their strengths,but also can make ot others with admiration;and teamwork can be more improved work efficiency,to maximize benefits

For me it is better to work as a team than to work alone. Yes, you can prove to others that you can do a work even you're alone but the question is how long did you do that? If you work as a team for sure it will finish as early as possible.

My job really requires me to work with a team, and I certainly enjoy that. It is an international trading business, and the work needs cooperating with people from countries in different parts of the world. It is always so interesting and educational to work as a team with people of different nationalities and cultures. Cooperation really is the basis for mutual benefits.

I also like working in a team when it is needed. Working in a team is very exciting becoz,you can see yourself doing a friendly competition and also helping each other. Working with people you will also learn a lot of thing and you can also express yourself more than what you think you can. While working alone gives you more peace and concentration with the tasks that is given to you. So,for me,i both like working in a team and working alone. have a good day always

It really depends. At times, I like working with a team, yet at others, i prefer working alone. Working together as a team allows for more creativity and many more ideas can be generated. Many brains is better than one. Also, group members can discuss and make decisions. However when we work alone, we only can depend on ourselves to find ideas and to decide the one to use. Furthermore, the full responsibility falls onto our own shoulder. However, sometimes working as a team will lead to a lot of arguments and unhappiness. It is not easily working with people who are all committed to the task at hand. It really takes a lot of tolerance for those people in the team who are free-riders. Thus, at times, i really prefer working alone as I know that I can claim credit for those that i have done and don't have to depend on other.

I have no problem with working in a team or alone.. but it depends what is being assigned. I prefer to get things done alone because I have full responsibility and I get my priorities straight where as if you work in a team, majority rules so if you were voting for a layout, you don't like the other persons idea and it wins, you have to deal with it and etc. I have had good experiences with working as a team and bad experiences but you learn from them.

Well, I enjoy both working as a team and also working alone too. I like to work together with others, it makes working more interesting, and also we can always share our ideas and discuss on certain things. As you said, we learn more when we work with others. But, sometimes working with others can be time consuming too. As much time spent on discussion, also there may be some team members are not working independently. Sometimes I like to work alone, as I can be more concentrate on my work and also achieve my target more effectively.
