"But for me, the key to developing a successful organization is all about team building. It's all about the people you surround yourself with. Succeeding in business, in sports, in your life, is a matter of pulling together people you can trust, who are honest, who have their priorities in line, who have the talent, ambition, and desire to reach beyond themselves and make something really big happen - particularly when the pressure's on." - Roger Staubach, Hall of Fame quarterback
In my experience team building takes a while - trust always does, at the foundation - and that fully-functioning family dynamic is a gradual development that comes with spending time together in an upbeat way. Recently the team at work has been especially successful. I merely inherited the kind of people Staubach describes, but the progress in terms of productivity, efficiency, and morale has been remarkable. My role is to water it with encouragement, thankfulness and good humor, to nourish it with vision, to weed it when necessary, and otherwise watch it flourish!
