To be a great leader, you have to learn how to follow. Followers are needed for someone to become a leader. If your job requires you to work with others, you should not hate the idea and just cruise through the project. You should bring energy and new ideas to your group. It is true that working in groups has its up sides and downsides. One downside is that you can not control what other people choose to do. All it takes is one negative person to bring down the productivity of a team. An upside of working on group projects in your company is that you can make your group better and bring positive features to the table then your employer will see it and have a good perception of you.

Learning cooperation skills in your job can teach you skills that you may not have been so good at before. If your employer notices that you are good at working in groups, he will think more of you because you can communicate with others. Overtime this can be an aspect that your employer loves about you that can cause you to receive a promotion. Working with others will also create some kind of relationship between you and other co workers.
