Have you noticed that when a sports team wins a championship game, both the players and the coaches talk in terms of a "team victory" and appear to truly enjoy sharing the accomplishment? On the other hand, players and coaches who are going through a losing streak tend to make excuses and point fingers.
Achieving goals
The success of any high-performance team is in direct proportion to the number of "team players" within the group. It's not difficult to spot team players in any group of people because they tend to stand out from the crowd. Team players radiate a positive attitude, cooperative spirit and encourage their coworkers to excel. Team players are self-motivated individuals who are focused on the attainment of team goals. They are driven to perform at a high level and will do almost anything to not let their teammates down. Team players share achievement and jointly shoulder criticism and defeat.
Nature rewards mutual cooperation and there are great examples of teamwork everywhere you look. Why do you think a goose prefers to fly with other geese in a V formation rather than winging it on its own? Even a goose has the good sense to appreciate the power of team cooperation and the importance of mutual support.
