| − | A group of people that stick together and work together to attain a similar goal is referred to as "cohesiveness." A team is said to be cohesive when all of its members have linkages that connect them to one another and to the team as a whole. One of the most important aspects of a team project's success is the team's cohesiveness. Making time for team members to appreciate one other's skills and managing emotional issues are some essential drivers to consider in order to increase team cohesiveness. It is critical for project managers to design tactics for their teams to become more cohesive in order to be successful. The team that solved the engima code, lead by Alan Turning, is an example of a team that succeeded after it became cohesive. This article will look at the importance of team cohesion and how it may be improved.
