Words of Wisdom on TeamworkIn developing our seminars and keynote presentations, we are fortunate to run across many words of wisdom. If you need a refreshing thought, idea, slogan, or profound nugget for an upcoming meeting, presentation, or lunch room bulletin board, take a look at the following words of wisdom on teamwork. Don't miss our other categories of Words of Wisdom. 
Random Thoughts on Teamwork"Denial" is not a river in Egypt. Most relationships
suffer from what we deny or avoid. But if we can't talk about it, we can't
fix it. There is more information and knowledge within a team
than is usually revealed. The object is not to see through one another, but to see
one another through. The power of a waterfall is nothing but a lot of drips
working together. A company with internal dissension is drained of energy
before it has a chance to devote itself to its proper purpose. The greatest danger a team faces isn't that it won't become
successful, but that it will, and then cease to improve. A single arrow is easily broken, but not ten in a bundle. It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn't
matter who gets the credit. None of us is as smart as all of us. A boat doesn't go forward if each one is rowing their
own way.
Individually, we are one drop. Together we are an ocean. Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success. It's easy to get good players. Getting them to play together,
that's the hard part. Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common
vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational
objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon
results. Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what
makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. When a team outgrows individual performance and learns
team confidence, excellence becomes a reality. The way a team plays as a whole determines its success.
You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but
if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime. |
