I read these great thoughts on teamwork this morning:

“For there to be teamwork, several things must happen. First, team members must genuinely believe that the value of the team’s success is greater than the value of their own individual interests. Second, personal sacrifice must be encouraged and then rewarded – by the team leader and the other members of the team. As this happens, the people will identify themselves more with the team, and they will recognize that although individualism wins trophies, teamwork wins pennants.”

– John C. Maxwell (Developing the Leaders Around You)

Leaders GOAL: I will remind us of the value of our team goals, and I will consistently encourage and reward team efforts.
