Changing the World

Today I gave quite an important presentation about teamwork. I was pretty nervous speaking in front of 40+ young adults. Anywho, we are told by others that teamwork is good, but how important is it? And how do we make it effective? I think teamwork is super important in all aspects of life: family, relationships and business. 

It came down to this when considering the basic principles:

1. UPLIFT:
   How far are you taking your team with you? What distance are you going? What are you doing to make the environment around you a more positive and engaging place? What are you doing to help? How are you making a difference?
2. ENCOURAGEMENT:
   This principle should not be taken for granted in any aspect of life. Human emotions are based on our motivation to perform them. The best way positively motivate is encourage.
3. ALTERNATE LEADERSHIP:
   It’s about everybody taking initiative. It should never be about one leader telling everybody else what to do. Everybody’s got a voice and everybody’s got potential.
