This nation was built on teamwork, not individual, independent effort. The ego is particularly damaging to organizations in the political world. We should always remember that few sports teams with the league-leading scorer go on to win the championship. It is teams with the best cooperation, harmony, and teamwork that take home the big prize. Than You Can Imagine.

Trying things, trying new methods involves personal risk. This is a lesson I should have been wise to as a teacher. It was much easier for me to explain to my students what they should do than it was for them to do it. Once you take on the challenge to drive fear from the workplace, institute leadership, trust, respect and joy in work, the real task has only begun. Few are willing to take that risk-even if it seems to be the right thing to do.
