Isn’t it great to be human! I love the positive about human nature. For the most part we are all loving and kind beings. I love this video clip I saw the other day, perhaps you have seen it since it has had well over one million views on YouTube. But this was my first time. “The nice thing about teamwork is that you always have others on your side.” ~Margaret Carty
teamwork
An amazing thing has been happening with my 12 year old son lately. He is kicking the guts out of footballs with great accuracy, and I don’t even have to push him! Let me give you a little bit of background.
I love this teamwork video I just saw on YouTube. It’s amazing what a video can do to demonstrate a concept. This is entertaining. Let me know what you think.
I personally believe that lack of understanding team members should probably be number one if not a close second in the rankings. With lack of understanding comes lack of trust. When there is a lack of trust on the team there will be focus on anything but the issues during team conflict, which will create all kinds of inefficiencies on the team. What do you think? What have you done on your teams to increase understanding among team members?
I asked the question on several LinkedIn Groups “What is so difficult about teamwork?” I received well over 200 responses. My intention was to rank each of them and then figure out ways we can create better teamwork. Today we will discuss obstacle number three – Individuals focused on themselves and not the team.
