THE POWER OF TEAMWORK

When you ask most people, “Do you believe that teamwork is important?” Most will agree that it is extremely important, in fact necessary to achieve and succeed in any great vision or goal. Yet, why do we all fall prey to the worldly media that conditions us to fight on our own?

The media has us conditioned to think that we can only win on our own merits. We fight for a job or a career and we believe that if we win someone has to loose. The business environment is ferocious. Most small business owners know nothing about developing a winning team. There is an adversarial relationship in most cases between the employee and the employer. Most employees only care about themselves, and most of the time they are justified, due to the fact that most companies only care about the bottom line.

Corporate America is in trouble, because its leaders have made decisions based on this win/loose philosophy. They have greed at hand and made decisions for themselves rather then what is good for society or their own employees. When will Corporate America wake up and figure out that the Win/ Win philosophy is what will create lasting long term growth for their company and the country?

Corporate America must realize that they must create teamwork with their employees as well as the general public. They need to do what is right rather than what is sufficient. They need to work toward the greater good rather than rely on selfish motives.

I have a feeling that this bailout of Wall Street will only provide further incentives for Corporate America to repeat the failed policies of the past. This can only increase inflation and lead to more expense that the general public may not be able to afford.

The country, and corporate America must create a team to work toward a common cause that will make America a powerful nation again. We can only be that way when everyone wins, including the great citizens of this county. Nothing but nothing will beat the power of teamwork!

To illustrate the power of teamwork take a look at this awesome you tube video. It takes place in Africa. The Lions I would consider corporate America. The crocodiles represent government interest. And the Buffalo represent a Team and what power teamwork can have. I hope you enjoy it!
