PLS HURRY!! ILL MARK YOUR ANsWER BRAINLIEST!! Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by

Hon.
Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn. In the course of the construction of the Bridge a number of lives have been lost. Does it not sometimes seem as though every work of enduring value, in the material as in the moral world, must needs be purchased at the cost of human life? Let us recall with kindness at this hour the work of those who labored here faithfully unto the death, no less than of that great army of men who have wrought, year in and year out, to execute the great design. Let us give our meed of praise to-day to the humblest workman who has here done
his duty well, no less than to the great engineer who told him what to do. The content of this excerpt makes it clear that

the audience was not very grateful to those who built the bridge.

the mayor owned the company that built the Brooklyn Bridge.

the building of the bridge was incredibly difficult and dangerous work.

the finished bridge was not worth the high cost of construction.

Article on teamwork
liberstina [14]

We all know already that teamwork is the key to success in most realms of life and business. Only through teamwork can we combine different, complementary points of view to identify and seize hidden synergy opportunities, overcome difficult obstacles and achieve challenging objectives.

However, teamwork is a challenge in and of itself. It requires that people manage their egos, develop humility, communicate effectively, resolve conflicts and, above all, commit to one another and to a common goal. Anyone who has worked on a team knows that the only way to do so successfully is by assessing oneself honestly and becoming the best person one can be. In this regard, not only does teamwork increase performance, it also promotes the development of better citizens and societies.

In order for a group of people to become a high-performing team, its members must undergo five transformational stages, which were masterfully described by Jon Katzenbach and Douglas Smith in what they called "The Team Performance Curve," presented in their book The Wisdom of Teams. The five stages are:


1. Working Group

A working group is nothing more than a collection of individuals who make independent contributions to a common objective, thus requiring low levels of integration and alignment. Working groups function well in certain contexts where complexity is low and the objectives are straightforward. However, they become less and less effective as the environment becomes more complex and the objectives become more challenging. More specifically, when identifying and seizing synergies become a prerequisite for survival and long-term sustainability, working groups must evolve into teams or else they will drift away into oblivion.

2. Pseudo-Team

When the members of a working group first decide to become a real team, their collective performance will tend to decrease as a result. This may seem counter-intuitive at first, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Working groups do not require that their members be fully integrated and aligned strategically and operationally. They operate under the premise that its members work individually and, later, someone else, a coordinator, will be responsible for integrating the results of their work. Therefore, when members of a working group first attempt to work as a real team, they have to face inevitable misunderstandings and frictions resulting from the natural differences among their personalities, work styles and personal goals. As a result, climate and performance deteriorate. Despite this difficulty, every team member, especially the leader, must be determined and patient, and allow this stage to occur in its entirety while not letting it define the team's future. This is where effective leadership starts to play a crucial role.
