Whether is was nerves or even bad pizza, I didn't know and frankly, I didn't care. I just wanted it gone. So when my buddy, Bednar, handed me a bottle of medicine, I popped the cap and put it right to my lips. I'm not sure what possessed me to suddenly take a look at the label before I swallowed, but it was sure a good thing I did. That morning I learned the importance of taking the right medicine, a lesson that's just as important in business.
Teams can be the right medicine, but only if used as directed.
Working with a team is like walking a mile in someone else's shoes. It can be useful if you need shoes, but it can also produce blisters. So don't do it unless you really need a blend of skills to solve the problem. If you answer yes , you might think about doing it another way. So don't do it unless you can stomach the irritations.
