We all work hard. We all are asked to do things that we're competent at, and things we're less competent at. We win an occasional battle but more often we lose. Over time the reality intensifies that this is as good as it gets, and certain dreams are never going to come true. And if there's anyone on my team who gives a damn about it, it sure isn t very apparent.
Teams drive themselves very hard to focus on team goals.
When the spirit is willing and the sense of teamship is alive, people can do remarkable things together. But we never get to team goals if the pressure of our individual goals is eating away at us. We don t have to hold one another's hands all the time, it seems to me. Help Janice get her son Sean into college. Help Fred pad out his last couple of years to retirement.
