Despite my current job that requires me to meet and work with others, I prefer to work alone most of the time. I like the quiet and peaceful environment where I can think clearly and stay focus on what I'm working on. What about you, do you prefer to work alone or as a team ?? And why???

I always prefer to work alone.Because I am a systematic person and approach every work with good home work in my mind.I just cannot cope up with less talented people around me.

Really it is a stone mill around your neck to work with people who don't agree with you.

Yes, I also feel sometimes that less talented people will only stand in my way to get things done perfectly, that's why I prefer to do tasks all by myself

I also prefer to work alone because I know I will get it done.

Yes, that's how I feel too. Sometimes it's really hard to stay focus when we work in a team, because we like to joke and talk with others.

a team of course, look social workers are working with a team. National Statistics Office is working with a team. And many offices is working with team, even me itself as a teachers we are working as a team...happy specially if we supporting each other.

When I was younger I hated working in a team, but now I like both things. I enjoy working in a team, and I like to chat about the work and about other things while I am working. I also like to get new ideas and inspiration from others. I don't like to work in large teams though. I prefer to work in a small team. I also like to work alone, especially when I am writing or painting, because then it is easier for me to focus on my work and I don't get distracted.

I guess I do like to work alone if it is a work I know I can finish off by myself. I like the peacefulness and the time I can manage to do things without involving others. If the work I am gonna do however is not something that a single person can finish then I have no problem working with a team :)

I do not know if I have a preference or not. At times, like when writing or studying I like to be alone and quiet. There are other tmes that I really like to work on a team. Overall, team work is great when it really works. There are many benefits to working with a team. It's also lots more fun to work with others, and hear other perspectives!

I like to work alone, because I know my own strengths and weaknesses. When you are part of a team, unless you know the others well, you are dealing with one or perhaps several unknown quantities. My mother always used to say: 'If you want something doing properly, do it yourself.' As always, she was right.
