Team Cohesion

Cohesion is the bond that keeps a team united and committed, even in the face of adversity. It develops through collaboration, mutual support, and the trust that comes from depending on one another. Cohesion has two dimensions: social cohesion, which reflects the strength of relationships and sense of solidarity among team members, and task cohesion, which reflects how effectively a team works together to achieve shared goals. Both evolve over time, strengthening teamwork and resilience. When teams are cohesive, they are more flexible, creative, and capable of solving problems and overcoming challenges together.
