We've all heard the statement: "There's no I in Team". Yep, it's true. Not a single "I" in the word "Team". But let's be honest, there's still quite a bit of "I" in all of us. But hey, the statement isn't about spelling, it's about teamwork. It's about working together. Here's just a couple of thoughts about that very subject:
Leonard Bernstein was once asked which instrument was the most difficult to play. His answer was, "Second fiddle. I can get plenty of first violinists, but to find someone who can play the second fiddle with enthusiasm—that's a problem. And if we have no second fiddle, we have no harmony."
It is better to have one person working with you than having three people working for you. —Dwight. D. Eisenhower
A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skills of the others. —Norman G. Shiddle
No one can whistle a symphony, it takes an orchestra to play it. —Halford E. Luccock
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4)
Wow! Even God has something to say about teamwork. Must be important, huh?
