Without unity even the best organizations or teams will fall. It is vital that we remain selfless and work toward common goals rather than individual glory.
"Effectiveness and productivity are most likely diminished when you are plagued with individuals who view your team as secondary to their own interests." (p. 126)
The best way to defeat this mentality is to have a team of individuals that are eager to share the glory and slow to take the credit.
I'm actually going to take the question for this chapter directly from this chapter...
On page 124 Coach Wooden asks, "What is the impact of a negligible producer on other team members?" Think of a negligible producer as someone who doesn't contribute as much as they could to the team whether because they are focused too much on themselves, are lazy, or whatever the case may be.

"The star of the team is the team."
ReplyDeleteA negligible producer hurts the team greatly. They can cause anger and unrest with others on the team and can hurt people through their actions or words. This person needs to shape up and become a team player.
"No one player should take the credit for the effort of all the others." If someone takes all the credit for scoring a point, it may hurt the relationship between that person and the rest of the team. To be the best team you can be you must have a good relationship with everyone.
