(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.

- 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.
