In team-based environments,persuasion is of little importance as teammates will cooperate with each other because they have to.

Even in team-based environments where cooperation is necessary, persuasion still plays an important role in gaining support and buy-in from teammates, resolving conflicts, and achieving goals. Teammates may have different opinions, motivations, and priorities, and may need to be convinced or influenced to align their actions with the team's objectives. Persuasion can involve using logic, reasoning, emotions, values, incentives, or other strategies to persuade others to change their attitudes or behaviors. Therefore, persuasion is a valuable skill for any team member to have, especially in complex, dynamic, and diverse teams.
