Teaming Up for Tomorrow

Filed under: Teamwork — Herman Najoli @ 7:08 am

When I was six years old my parents took me from the city to the country where I had to undergo a traditional African circumcision ceremony. I learnt so much during that initiation and I share most of it through my speech, The Hero’s Journey. One of the things that happened was that the entire “class” of initiates was given a name to identify them. The name gave the entire class a sense of oneness and purpose. We, in a way, became a support team for one another.

In very much the same way, we need support teams for every day life. The age of the lone ranger is forever gone. Teaming up with others enables a shared sense of vision for the future. The team is able to develop goals that are bigger than individual goals and can easily be realized. Being part of a team builds confidence and spreads responsibility. It also allows people within the team to mentor each other.

Teamwork makes the future workable; it makes the dream work! Nothing generates more energy in an organization than a team that is cohesive. It’s true that there is no “I” in team but there is a “me” in team. Embrace your team and lift it to a higher level!

  1. No doubt, team works make success and it’s a best way to utilize your skills shared amongst your team and purified and strained out with maximum minds to work for one cause. I am striving for a team to develop an internet co-working for my domain to promote it for better advertisements and local market support through community services online.
    I am inspired of this post and would visit it for new ideas and suggestions.
