was to do it ourselves in anongoing competition against

others"...except in the playground or in

cultural eventswhere the system favored

teaming up.

The Golden Saying !

Team Work is not a question ofpeople feeling good about each other

and the company. A completelydiverse group must agree on a goal,put the notion of individual

accountability aside and figures outhow to work with each other. Most

of all, they must learn that if theteam fails, it's every one's fault".

Douglas K. Smith, 'Wisdom of Teams'
