On great teams - the kind where people trust each other, engage in open conflict, and then commit to decisions - team members have the courage and confidence to confront one another when they see something that isn't serving the team.
Smaller groups of people can establish trusting relationships.
Teamwork requires some sacrifice up front; people who work as a team have to put the collective needs of the group ahead of their individual interests.
Teamwork is a strategic decision.
Team synergy has an extraordinary impact on business results.
People who have a sense of peace that their priorities are in the right place also have a sense of humility and a realistic view on life.
