One major advantage of teams and team dynamics is that in a team the value and benefit of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Essentially that the team functions better than a bunch of employees working separately as individuals (even though they might be exercising the same amount of effort and using the same skills). This is because of the chance to take advantage of each other's experience, knowledge and expertise. Another advantage is that team members can take on specific projects and roles to which they are best suited based on their abilities.
