Sacrifice:
There
can be no success without sacrifice. James Allen observed, “He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would
achieve much must sacrifice much.”
Time
Commitment:
Teamwork
does no come cheaply. It costs you time-that means you pay for it with your
life. Teamwork can’t be developed in a microwave time. Teams grow strong in a
Crock-Pot environment.
Personal
Development:
Your
team will reach its potential only if you reach your potential. That means
today’s ability is not enough. Or to put
it the way leadership expert Max DePree did: “We cannot become what we need to be remaining what we are.” UCLA’s John Wooden, a marvelous team leader
and the greatest college basketball coach of all time, said, “It’s what you learn after you know it all
that counts.”
Unselfishness:
“When
you give your best to the world, the world returns the favor.”
-H.
Jackson Brown
And if you give your best to the team, it
will return more to you than you give, and together you will achieve more than
you can on your own.
