===Common goal===
In a group setting, common goals act as a binding force. Aligning skills and efforts towards a shared objective provides a cohesive setting.  Ensuring everyone is working towards a unified purpose creates common goals that enhance group efficiency, foster teamwork, and contribute to a sense of camaraderie, ultimately leading to success.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-eAWAQAAMAAJ |title=Worklife |date=1979 |publisher=U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. |language=en}}</ref> When team members first come together, they will each bring different ideas; however, the key to a successful team is the alignment of its objectives. It is essential that the team leader sets a common goal the entire team is willing to pursue. This way, all of the team members will put in effort in order to attain the goal. If there is not a common goal, team members who disagree with the objective in hand will feel reluctant to utilize their full effort, leading to failure to achieve the goal. In other cases, team members might divert themselves to other tasks due to a lack of belief or interest in the goal.<ref>Abudi, G. 2011. 5 Elements of Successful Project Teams. [Online].
