... Most of the time, those players arent willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. ... One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. ... This can be challenging because there are so many different dynamics that make up a quality team. For a team to be successful they need to be consistent in the type of team they are, assign work roles successfully, set and convey goals, communicate effectively, have a successful team module, and be motivated. These six dynamics are imperative for team and work success.
Team Types

instinct with boldness and effort--it is ready to climb. ... aid=2380)
In assembling employees to work together, it’s important to know that there is a distinct difference between teams and work groups. Selecting the right people for the job can be as easy as understanding what you are trying to accomplish, and would a work group or team be better for the job. ... They are organized with one focused leader that relies heavily on individual accountability. The group’s purpose is always the same as the organizations of which they are a part. ... Participating in a team atmosphere means that the employees have shared leadership roles. Although, the team may choose to have one person to help lead the team, in general all members help in the decision making process.

The team may have individual assignments but, the whole team is responsible for all the work to be completed, therefore they all work together.

According to “Tools for Teams: Building Effective Teams in the Workplace”, there are four major types of team.
Manager-Led Teams
The manager-led team is the most traditional type of team and is most often found in the workplace. The manager is in effect the team leader and is subsequently responsible for every facet of the team process. The team members are only responsible for the work specifically assigned to them. ...
Self-Managed/Self-Regulating Teams
In the self-managed/self regulating team, a manager or designated leader usually determined the goals; purpose and direction of the team; but the team members can decide how they achieve these goals, etc.
Self-Directing/Self-Designing Teams
The self-directing/self-designing team is free to select their own goals and objectives and how they want to achieve them. The only part management plays in this type of team is in its organization.
Self-Governing Teams
Self-governing teams, which include the “Board of Directors” type team as a prime example, are totally independent in that they are ultimately responsible for all the different areas of the team process from setting goals and objectives to organization and composition. ...

new products for the organization

the well defined plan of the organization. ...

Knowing your role within a team is also a big part of team dynamics. In a team atmosphere there are many different roles that are needed to make a team successful. Assigning team roles and responsibilities helps to outline team responsibility while making sure effort isn’t duplicated in any one area. There are several important roles that need to be filled for a team to function properly. They include a team leader, a team organizer and a team problem solver. Although, in a team atmosphere everyone participates, one or more of these types of people is needed for team success.
The most obvious and visible team member would be a team leader or team management. Team management has many different obligations. They are the team motivators in that they need to keep the group motivated and on the correct path to reaching the team goal. ... Disagreements and personal problems with team members are one of the major reasons teams fail in completing goals.
