While browsing the Internet, I found A Search and Rescue book by Chris Weddle. I selected some statements that are important to us as a team.
Human life is at risk.
The subject's life, the lives of other team members, and your own life all hang in the balance of collective performances, and pure dumb luck. Regardless of what drives you, you must temper your personal concerns with the sole benefit of the subject's. Individual egos must be kept in check, and at times sacrificed to the absolute necessity of the team effort. We each manage the risks we face by our actions to them. Our mistakes add to the dangers.
