“The best teamwork is always with each other and never against each other

Many people like to hear about teamwork and would like to become part of a team, but in practice it often becomes clear that not everyone truly understands what cooperation means. They hear that teams can perform, reach goals and become stronger together, but sometimes that is like hearing the church bell ring without knowing where the clapper is. Success sounds attractive, especially to someone who wants to reach the top, but teamwork asks for more than only the desire to score. Anyone who wants to join a team must understand that ability, attitude, trust and the willingness to add real value are important requirements. In a strong team, not everyone has to be exactly the same, but every team member must bring value, fill a missing strength or contribute with personal qualities that help the shared result. Only then can performance improve and everyone can be pleased with a new addition to the team. A good atmosphere and sincere cooperation are essential, because someone with much knowledge and experience who is not willing to work together is not a strength but a risk. An individual who is mainly focused on self interest and personal glory does not fit into a group that wants to achieve something together and share fairly what has been built together. Such a person can bring an entire team into difficulties, because the focus moves away from winning together and turns into taking personal advantage. Positive and motivated team members can then lose trust, energy and motivation, while they wanted to build something valuable together. Teamwork therefore requires not only talent, but also character, respect and the ability to grant success to others. Whoever uses others only for personal gain eventually separates himself from the team. Resistance will then naturally arise, because cooperation cannot survive when one person acts against the shared spirit. And rightly so, because teamwork is always with each other and not against each other. Strong together, united unbeatable.
