God expects us to work together. Here are two verses from the Bible that tells us about teamwork.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor
Ecclesiastes 4:9
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
When individuals work together, they can double their strength and get much more done as a team. A team has checks and balances, one person watches the other one's back. Team members help encourage each other and keep each other focused.
