teamwork
Coordinated collective effort
Teamwork is cooperative effort by a group toward a shared goal.
The word emphasizes coordination and mutual support rather than individual achievement: Good teamwork won us the game.
It appears constantly in workplace and sports contexts, sometimes to the point of cliché: There's no "I" in teamwork.
