The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.

— Phil Jackson

Reflection

High-performing teams are built on interdependence: every person is accountable for their role, but no one succeeds alone. You can’t hide on a strong team, and you don’t have to carry the load alone. The best cultures draw out the greatness in individuals and challenge them to make everyone around them better. Good things happen when personal growth and shared purpose reinforce each other. One simple practice I’ve observed in great teams is encouragement. Tell someone today exactly what they bring to the mission.

Looking forward,
