building a team

What's a team?
I think more pertinently, it's who makes up the team.
Members in a team are important to determine the result.

There will be members who do nothing except sway with the wind.
There will be others who would agree just because they have no other ideas.
The worst are those who would jump ship when the light breeze changes to a gusty wind.

To build a successful team, there must be no hidden agenda - but a collective goal that is not only visible, but clear as well. Doesn't matter if the members do not speak the same language, because conveying the issues at hand and understanding the task is most important - there is such a thing as translation.

The heart and soul of the team is vital to the survival of the group.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
BUT the way may not necessarily be smooth or an easy ride.
Still, we need to walk that road - or skid across it - but the rough ride is always shorter when shared among the few.
Conversations will help bridge the start and end point.
A helping hand will ensure that no one gets left behind.

BUT how do we build such a team?
It's never done through panic - because a clear mind is the key ingredient for most situations.
How will we narrow differences, swallow pride, burn egos and think collective so that the common goal is attained?
Sacrifice.
Without sacrifice, there can be no success.
