Building a Powerful Team: Foundational Characteristics
Perhaps one of the best examples of true teamwork is conveyed by Thomas Quick as he describes a surgical team, headed by a surgeon. The team includes surgical assistants, nurses, anesthetist, and technician. Each function is specialized and highly skilled, and each person knows that his or her success is dependent on the other members of the team. All are committed to one objective—the well being of the patient.
Here’s to the veterans
Veterans day reminds us not only of the sacrifice of millions of military service men and women who served their country to preserve freedom across our national history. It also reminds us of the power of collective experiences and goals. The United States rallies around one common word on one day every year – “Veterans.” Likewise, be intentional to rally your team around that which is of greatest value to your organization.
