TEAM
Trust. Can you be counted on to be there for your team? Being
dependable is one of the greatest qualities in life. Being where you
are supposed to be – doing your job the ways you are suppose to do. If
you want to be a valuable member of a team you must be willing to say,
“You can count on me!”
Effort. Giving your all to help the team succeed. Using your energy in
a consistent way to make the team better. Dedicating time and talent
in a way that gives the team an edge over opponents who are unwilling to
work. Not just playing your position – making “plays” from your
position. If you want to be a valuable member of a team you must be
willing to say, “I will give my best effort!”
Attitude. Being able to focus on the things you can control while
blocking out the things you cannot. Not being distracted from your
goals. Constantly seeing the possibilities instead of the problems - An
ultimate desire to succeed. Most contests are lost because of attitude
rather than talent. If you want to be a valuable member of a team you
must be willing to say, “We will find a way!”
Morals. The glue of any team is its dedication to each other. Will you
be loyal to your teammates? Will you put aside personal glory? Are
you willing to sacrifice “me” for “we” in order to make the team
successful? If you want to be a valuable member of a team you must be
willing to say, “WE will be the best we can be!”
“If you can find a group of people willing to live and work by these
standards then you have more than a successful organization. You have a
Team.”
