2. INTRODUCTION
Teams can be define as a grouping of two or more people
regular interact to accomplish goals, be it in informal or
formal settings. (Ruin, Josep Eby, 2010) In addition,
Zamizan(2010) stated that teams is a small of number of
people with different skills who are committed to a common
purpose, a set of performance goals, and a approach for which
they hold themselves mutually accountable. Teamwork is
important in organization to develop a greater sense of
responsibility for achieving goals and performing tasks. Then,
teams promote equality among individuals, encouraging a
positive attitude and also trust. There are some agree that
work in a team is the best system.

3. THESIS STATEMENT
Therefore, it is strongly believed that in
order to achieve the effective teamwork
in organization, the employees or team
members should know the criteria to
achieve team’s goals, the contribution of
in a team and proven strategies to be good
teamwork.

4. TOPIC SENTENCE
Next, the employees should know the strategies for
problem solving and decision making as an effective team.
There are some type of strategies can be followed to get a
good vibe in teamwork, such as brainstorming. According
to Ruin, Josep Eby (2010), “Brainstorming is one strategies
to acclimatize team members to switching on their innate
‘thinking outside the box’ creativity” (p.70). With this
method, members are encouraged to come up with
extreme and in some cases or problem, outlandish
strategies of solving the problem.

5. Furthermore, second strategies is collective and consensual decision
making. It explained in Ruin, Josep Eby (2010), that in a management
strategy where the trend is towards a team environment, there are
some obvious advantage in having decision making in a team, for
example are diverse information would be available, ease to
communication among members in a team, likelihood of acceptance
by majority decision and also saving time to make decision in some
problem or cases. In addition, W. Gibb, Jr., Jeffrey, and William
(2013) stated:
Making effective decisions that have the commitment of all of the
team members is another key competency. Teams must make a
wide range of decision-about goals, programs, use of resources,
assignment, schedule, and so forth. The mode of decision making
used depends on how critical the decision is, whether the leader
has all the data, and whether the team’s commitment will be
affected if the leader make decision alone. (p. 66)

6. Besides that, the concept Shura in Islam which so
important in solving the problem and making a decision.
Maria Zain (2016) highlighted that “the binding of team
work in a Shura is basically check and balance”. Everyone
plays a part for the effectiveness of society and leadership
is essentially a responsibility, not a luxury, as seen in
numerous countries today. The Shura is there to keep the
leader on the right way and in between themselves too –
to continue on the same method. A conscientious Shura
will help all citizens of a given society fall into the right
place, since the strength of Islam really rests on the
brotherhood.
