Editing Structuring Teams (section)

== Why Organize in Teams? ==
Once again, organizing is leadership that enables people to turn the resources they have into the power they need to make the change they want. The snowflake model suits this approach to building power, and '''working in teams is critical''' to effective organizing in the snowflake model.

But first, why organize in teams? First and foremost, working in teams is '''more fun''' than working alone! Teammates offer '''support and mentorship''' to one another, which plays a key role in leadership development. People who feel supported and who enjoy what they’re doing are more likely to keep doing it. We’re up against a lot in our organizing, and doing this work with others can provide the motivation needed when times get tough. Additionally, we can '''meet higher goals''' working in teams by tapping into the diverse range of resources (including skills and knowledge) multiple people bring. And most importantly, by working in teams, we '''develop relationships''' with fellow teammates that facilitate and deepen our commitment to taking action.
