What term describes a group of people who work together to complete a task or reach a common goal?

• A. Team
• B. Teamwork
• C. Unstructured interview
• D. Unity of command principle

Answer: (B)

Teamwork is the collaborative effort of individuals who coordinate and cooperate to achieve a shared objective. This term captures the process of how people work together—communicating, aligning tasks, supporting one another, and combining diverse skills to reach the goal. That focus on the collective action and mutual effort is why teamwork is the best fit for describing a group of people who work together to complete a task or reach a common goal.

The other concepts aren’t about the act of working together: a team refers to the people themselves, unstructured interview is a hiring method, and the unity of command principle is an organizational rule about reporting to a single supervisor. In hospitality, strong teamwork turns individual strengths into coordinated, efficient service.
