Top Team And Teamwork Quotes

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Mary Catherine Bateson

Traditionally in American society, men have been trained for both competition and teamwork through sports, while women have been reared to merge their welfare with that of the family, with fewer opportunities for either independence or other team identifications, and fewer challenges to direct competition. In effect, women have been circumscribed within that unit where the benefit of one is most easily believed to be the benefit of all. — Mary Catherine Bateson

Team And Teamwork Quotes By J. Richard Hackman

Team And Teamwork Quotes By James Brady

Why did these men fight? The answer is simple. We were ordinary people molded into Marines. The same can be said of those who served in the army. We all had the proper upbringings of common folk, when you have a task to do, you work hard, give it your best and get the job done. We came from different backgrounds; however, we became a team, moving and fighting as if we had known each other all of our lives. All of us have bonded for life and still keep in touch by phone, letters, and visits. If anyone of the second squad needs help you can be sure the rest of the squad would be there. All of those I have kept in touch with have been successful in the life endeavors they chose.
"Not one of them is bitter about giving up two years of their life to 'Serve Their Country'"
-George E. Krug — James Brady

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Jake Byrne

Linked together as a team with one goal, we soon realized we were only as strong as our weakest link. But did we condemn the weaker
member? That wouldn't serve any purpose. Instead, the stronger guys responded by carrying more weight than the weaker teammate. Encouragement was key in reaching the top of the stadium, standing as one.
Sometimes one person on your team may not be as strong as another. Strengths usually differ. Likewise, in an encounter with another, someone may have a different set of beliefs or ideas.To accomplish any goal, embracing the strengths and weaknesses of each member and compensating where necessary are the best ways to make it to the top. — Jake Byrne

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Patrick Lencioni

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Jay Woodman

I want to be part of the happiness team - let's create the happiness team - from love, not greed, love of life & our planet, true & free. — Jay Woodman

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Patrick Lencioni

Trust is the confidence among team members that their peers' intentions are good, and that there is no reason to be protective or careful around the group. Teammates are vulnerable with one another; they are confident that their respective vulnerabilities will not be used against them. — Patrick Lencioni

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Edsger Dijkstra

In the wake of the Cultural Revolution and now of the recession I observe a mounting pressure to co-operate and to promote "teamwork". For its anti-individualistic streak, such a drive is of course highly suspect; some people may not be so sensitive to it, but having seen the Hitlerjugend in action suffices for the rest of your life to be very wary of "team spirit". Very. — Edsger Dijkstra

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Bill Walton

I lived to play basketball. Growing up as a kid, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics were my favorite team. The way they played, the teamwork, the sacrifice, the commitment, the joy, the camaraderie, the relationship with the fans. — Bill Walton

Team And Teamwork Quotes By John C. Maxwell

Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team. — John C. Maxwell

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Patrick Lencioni

Achieving vulnerability-based trust (where team members have overcome their need for invulnerability) is difficult because in the course of career advancement and education, most successful people learn to be competitive with their peers, and protective of their reputations. It is a challenge for them to turn those instincts off for the good of the team, but that is exactly what is required. — Patrick Lencioni

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Darell Hammond

Growing up in a group home, and with an undiagnosed learning disability to boot, the odds of success were not on my side.

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Kevin Myers

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Harvard Business School Press

She built a close-knit team of talented people who bonded with one another and felt passion for the mission. Soon her group became one of the parent bank's most desirable places to work. She developed strong relationships with senior executives who helped her deal with tensions in the middle, and she communicated well and often about why her unit needed to be different. Her creativity, vision, teamwork, and persistence helped this group succeed and become a national role model, while other banks' efforts faltered. — Harvard Business School Press

Team And Teamwork Quotes By John Katzenbach

A demanding performance challenge tends to create a Team. In any situation requiring a combination of multiple skills, experiences and judgments, a team inevitably gets better results than a collection of individuals. Teams provide the kind of responsiveness, speed, on-line customization and quality that is beyond the reach of individual performance. — John Katzenbach

Team And Teamwork Quotes By John Katzenbach

The same dynamics that promote performance also support learning and behavioral change. — John Katzenbach

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Terry Orlick

We cannot win in team situations or in relationships by ourselves. It is like trying to pick up a pencil with only one finger ... Even if that one finger is extremely strong, it will prove almost impossible to pick up that pencil unless you use your other fingers or some other part of your hand. Teamwork is a bit like using all of your fingers. Each one is unique and contributes something different, but they unite in pursuit of a common goal. — Terry Orlick

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Patrick Lencioni

Teams have to eliminate ambiguity and interpretation when it comes to success — Patrick Lencioni

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Kwame Alexander

Basketball Rule #6
A great team

with a teammate
who's on point
and ready
to assist. — Kwame Alexander

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Bob Ainsworth

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Rajon Rondo

They talked about teamwork. That's all it is. It's about team effort. No particular player trying to outshine each other. Playing unselfishly and believe. Good things will come. — Rajon Rondo

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Michael Schumacher

When you start out in a team, you have to get the teamwork going and then you get something back. — Michael Schumacher

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Patrick Lencioni

Open, frank communication is the lynchpin to teamwork. A fractured team is like a fractured bone; fixing it is always painful and sometimes you have to re-break it to heal it fully - and the re-break always hurts more because it is intentional. — Patrick Lencioni

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Michael Jordan

If you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships. — Michael Jordan

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Steve Goodier

I believe a family can be like that sports team. A successful family wins as a team. But if its members are intent upon winning their own individual battles with one another, the team loses. A winning solution is to work out the differences and, when it's over, let it be over. Then they can get back in the game as a team. — Steve Goodier

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Chris Hill

Hockey and cooking are similar in so many ways, especially if you are a player-coach, the guy in charge on the ice, a role I would closely relate to that of a chef in the kitchen - they are both contact sports.

You've gotta keep your head up, keep moving and communicate well. Even though you might be the leader in the kitchen or on the ice, you need to understand that that you're part of a working machine and that machine stops working if one of the pieces isn't working in unison with the others. I learned from a very young age the importance of being part of this team dynamic and how hard work can take you to so many different places.

(Chef Duane Keller) — Chris Hill

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Bill Shankly

A football team is like a piano. You need eight men to carry it and three who can play the damn thing. — Bill Shankly

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Peter Senge

Team learning is the Process of aligning and developing the capacity of a team to create the results its members desire. It builds on the discipline of developing a shared vision. It also builds on personal mastery, for talented teams are made up of talented individuals. — Peter Senge

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Patrick O'Sullivan

That Canadian team had a bunch of guys who are in the 1 percent: Crosby, Getzlaf, Perry, Carter, Richards and Weber - guys who would win Olympic gold and make $8 and $10 million a season down the line. Though a player might be in that 1 percent, no team is, not as a group. — Patrick O'Sullivan

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Patrick Lencioni

A fractured team is just like a broken arm or leg; fixing it is always painful, and sometimes you have to rebreak it to make it heal correctly. And the rebreak hurts a lot more than the initial break, because you have to do it on purpose P.37 — Patrick Lencioni

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Dave Rudbarg

One of the reasons the team on NCIS works so well-is that they live by their leader's rules-which are not a secret .
What are your rules/standards? Do the people in your life know what they are? Do you hold grudges/resentments when they don't measure up? Do you pretend that everything is fine-when it's not-and close up a little every day?
And most importantly-
When was the last time YOU reviewed/upgraded your standards/expectations rules-and took a look at the impact around you/checked in?
(Hint-most people live from rules/standards/expectations created from reactions/perceptions formed around the age of six)
Might be time for a review/upgrade ... — Dave Rudbarg

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Mia Hamm

I play for the intense challenges that the game on the highest levels present. The whole team enjoys playng exciting soccer for the fans and my part in that makes me feel good about myself. The whole concept of teamwork is what keeps us all going. It's my role to create scoring chances, and to come through for my teammates is extremely satisfying. — Mia Hamm

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Robert Riskin

To most of you, your neighbor is a stranger, a guy with a barking dog and a high fence around him. Now you can't be a stranger to any guy who's on your own team. So tear down the fence that separates you, tear down the fence and you'll tear down a lot of hates and prejudices. Tear down all the fences in the country and you'll really have teamwork. — Robert Riskin

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Russel Honore

When you form a team, why do you try to form a team? Because teamwork builds trust and trust builds speed. — Russel Honore

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Tom Landry

There's a misconception about teamwork. Teamwork is the ability to have different thoughts about things; it's the ability to argue and stand up and say loud and strong what you feel. But in the end, it's also the ability to adjust to what is the best for the team. — Tom Landry

Team And Teamwork Quotes By David Peace

He once told me, Instead of scoring thirty goals a season, why don't you score twenty-five and help someone else to score fifteen? That way the team's ten goals better off. — David Peace

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Pat Summitt

To me, teamwork is a lot like being part of a family. It comes with obligations, entanglements, headaches, and quarrels. But the rewards are worth the cost. — Pat Summitt

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Douglas McGregor

Most teams aren't teams at all but merely collections of individual relationships with the boss. Each individual vying with the others for power, prestige and position. — Douglas McGregor

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Laszlo Bock

What we care about is, when faced with a problem and you're a member of a team, do you, at the appropriate time, step in and lead. And just as critically, do you step back and stop leading, do you let someone else? — Laszlo Bock

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Robert Bales

Effective teamwork will not take the place of knowing how to do the job or how to manage the work. Poor teamwork, however, can prevent effective final performance. And it can also prevent team members from gaining satisfaction in being a member of a team and the organization. — Robert Bales

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Pat Riley

When a milestone is conquered, the subtle erosion called entitlement begins its consuming grind. The team regards its greatness as a trait and a right. Half hearted effort becomes habit and saps a champion. — Pat Riley

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Atul Gawande

Teamwork may just be hard in certain lines of work. Under conditions of extreme complexity, we inevitably rely on a division of tasks and expertise - in the operating room, for example, there is the surgeon, the surgical assistant, the scrub nurse, the circulating nurse, the anesthesiologist, and so on. They can each be technical masters at what they do. That's what we train them to be, and that alone can take years. But the evidence suggests we need them to see their job not just as performing their isolated set of tasks well but also as helping the group get the best possible results. This requires finding a way to ensure that the group lets nothing fall between the cracks and also adapts as a team to whatever problems might arise. — Atul Gawande

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Lailah Gifty Akita

Good team and network promotes amazing results. — Lailah Gifty Akita

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Tom Peters

Stellar teams are invariably made up of quirky individuals who typically rub each other raw, but they figure out - with the spiritual help of a gifted leader - how to be their peculiar selves and how to win championships as a team ... at the same time. — Tom Peters

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Helen Roseveare

When would I learn the secret of happy, contented teamwork? Why did I always want to be the last link? If I would love the Lord with all my mind, I had to give Him all that I thought I knew or could do, and be willing for Him to place me anywhere within the team to do any job He chose for me. Only then would I exprience true peace of mind. — Helen Roseveare

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Max De Pree

The key elements in the art of working together are how to deal with change, how to deal with conflict, and how to reach our potential ... the needs of the team are best met when we meet the needs of individual persons. — Max De Pree

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Peter Drucker

Teamwork is neither "good" nor "desirable." It is a fact. Wherever people work together or play together they do so as a team. Which team to use for what purpose is a crucial, difficult and risky decision that is even harder to unmake. Managements have yet to learn how to make it. — Peter Drucker

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Tony Dovale

Teamwork and trust trump ego and arrogance in building high performance sustainable successful teams. Rethink your team building ideas — Tony Dovale

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Rachel Brady

When you're problem solving with a team and somebody has an idea separate the idea from the person talking, because once in a while a jackass might come up with something useful. — Rachel Brady

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Gregg Sulkin

I know when I have kids, when I'm older, I'm going to encourage them to play sports because I think it teaches you a lot. It teaches you discipline, teamwork, and that there's really no 'I' in team. — Gregg Sulkin

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Mo Rocca

I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation. — Mo Rocca

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Mike Massimino

That's how a team works. You help the people around you, and everybody's better off for it. The crazy thing is that most of those guys wanted to be astronauts, too, but they never saw it as a competition. We were on the same team, where you want everyone around you to be as successful as possible, because in some way or another their success will become your success. It's good karma - what goes around comes around. — Mike Massimino

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Ricardo Derose

A perfect couple shares their failures, mistakes and their successes equally and deal with them all as a team. — Ricardo Derose

Team And Teamwork Quotes By Steve McConnell

Even when you have skilled, motivated, hard-working people, the wrong team structure can undercut their efforts instead of catapulting them to success. A poor team structure can increase development time, reduce quality, damage morale, increase turnover, and ultimately lead to project cancellation. — Steve McConnell
