TEAMWORK

I think teamwork better exemplified by the Formula 1 than by a relay . In formula1 every one brings her unique skill and strength to the team whereas in relay races, the best result is achieved when everyone in the team is a clone of the best runner. If everyone is your management team is a man, woman, introvert, extrovert or in someway "clones", you're in someway short of the best. Research shows that ~94% of heterosexual marriages are made of men and women who are different in a significant way. Afterall, if they are clones, one is not needed. Diversify your team!

Lessons of Life

I have learnt that there are differences and diversity is not meant to divide. Rather it is an opportunity to see life from across the divide.
I have learnt that teamwork is not about clones, I am learning to work with those who do not work as I do.
I have learnt to be more gentle on those who stumble; very soon, it may be my turn.
I have learnt that speaking up solves more problems than one can imagine; people are willing to comply if someone is willing take the lead.
I have learnt to both talk and speak, either way, to get my points across. The person who seems to be hurting me on purpose may not even be aware.

Our greatest fear .....

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -- Marianne Williamson/Nelson Mandela
