Here is a video on teamwork (or lack of) that I really enjoyed. Pay particular attention to the two guys on both ends of the stretcher. Watch them collaborate and then drop this poor guy.

I think Friday’s are a good day to post something a little more lite, but still related to teamwork and leadership in some sort of odd way. So here is a video that you are sure to get a chuckle or two out of. Do your team projects mirror the work of this team of guys sometimes? Check out the video.
I have always believed that teams must spend focused time on strengthening relationships between team members.
You would think that any team with impeccable talent would get perfect results. But there have been a number of loaded teams that refute such a thought. The U.S. 2006 World Baseball Classic team put together some of the best players to play the game including Roger Clemens, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, but couldn’t beat Canada, Mexico or South Korea and failed to qualify for the semifinals with a sixth place finish.
There has to be a point in which teamwork can’t exist because individual agendas interfere. But there also has to be a point in which team incentives are so great you have to put aside your own agenda for the good of the team. Maybe there is no balance; it’s one or the other?
