If you want to be truly great you have to work as hard to be a great teammate as you do to be a great player.  – Jon Gordon

Team, organizations, schools, families . . . everything we do is based on connections and relationships.  In any group the commitment to the whole must be greater than the desire to advance self.  We’ve all have known the “weakest link” in a chain . . . we have experienced team failures due to selfish individuals.

Today, take the time to commit to the team.  Invest effort to be a better teammate – to build connections, spread positive energy to those that need a lift, and find courage to challenge a fellow teammate to get better.  Today . . . step outside your comfort zone of self and invest in making the team stronger.
