TEAM, TEAM WORK, TEAM BUILDING, TEAM SYNERGY…….. Aren’t these the same words so much spoken of in society today: in sports, institutions, organisations, enterprises, schools, and other work places today? Yet, more than ever in the history of mankind, we continue to contradict these with our actions, and instead build up superstars, supermodels, stars, stand-outs, and unhealthy competition.
Today in society, the efforts or values of TEAM continue to be relegated.
No wonder the scandals never seem to end: from sports stars to politicians, actors and actresses; from sexual abuse, to child abuse, paedophilia, bigotry, molestation, fraud and all, man’s desire to stand-alone on a pedestal woven together by self conceit and arrogance threatens to destroy the core values of the present village we all live, called the world.
What about you?
Do you realise and understand that MARRIAGE is TEAMWORK?
Do you believe that PARENTHOOD is TEAM in action?
Do you understand that it is not about the partner who brings the most money home at the end of the week or month?
Do you know that parenting it is not about who scores the most points with the children?
What about your work place? Sometimes it’s those unseen at the back end that keep the whole thing together and not necessarily those who are always seen.
So what do you do when egos come into play at your place of work or business?
What do you do when pride threatens to tear your TEAM apart?
What are you continually building your reputation on? Self Conceit? Ego? Pride? Arrogance?
Someone once said that “There is no ‘I’ in T-E-A-M”

So which TEAM are you on? Family? Work? School? Sports? Charity?
What do you bring to the TEAM that nobody else brings to the team? Wisdom? Money? Peace? Strength? Planning? Organisation? Attitude? Care? Direction?
Husbands, wives, managers, apprentice, captains, bishops, ministers who am I talking to?
The relationship is not all about you. The whole organisation is not all about you.
It’s about what every single person on that team brings to the table.
Ever tried lifting a car on your own? Try it with 30 adults and notice the difference!
Its TEAM-WORK! And that is what makes the true difference, and that is what makes success ever so sweet.
