With teams so common in organizations, it is no wonder that teamwork skills are considered a key quality of a well-rounded individual.
In saying this, it is also important to note that employees are never completely independent in the workplace. In fact, an organization is actually defined as a group of people working together to achieve a common goal (Daft 19). This means that every individual is automatically part of one team, with the team being the organization itself. Just like in any team, the individual needs to work well with others so that the entire team is moving towards its goal. At the same time, the individual needs to understand their own role as part of the team and perform that role effectively. In addition, an individual's position as part of the team is what creates working relationships within the organization. Keyton (192) refers to this as the "affective or expressive dimension of group communication, as opposed to the instrumental, or task-oriented, dimension" (Keyton 192).

Students in these kinds of schools do not attend school longer, but they do not have a summer break that is longer than any of the other breaks that they take during the school year.

Individualistic Quest Despite the many differences between the different incarnations of the Grail quest, all of the Holy Grail quest narratives are essentially individualistic quest narratives, as defined by the historian of mythology Joseph Campbell. Both "Percival" and "Parzival" are defined by their uniqueness as individuals, from the rest of their knights, because of their upbringing in isolated circumstances, from the rest of the chivalric Round Table. And in the
