Michael, if you can't pass, you can't play.
- Coach Dean Smith to Michael Jordan in his freshman year at UNC
Conflict is inevitable in a team ... in fact, to achieve synergistic solutions,
a variety of ideas and approaches are needed. These are the ingredients for conflict.

To say my fate is not tied to your fate is like saying, "Your end of the boat is sinking."
- Hugh Downs
Three things I'd say to a team to help hold them together:
If anything goes bad, I did it.
If anything goes semi-good, then we did it.
If anything goes real good, then you did it.
- Paul "Bear" Bryant
The vehicle of accomplishment is fueled by teamwork.
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
Individuals score points, but teams win games.
- Zig Ziglar
Strength is derived from unity. The range of our collective vision is far greater when individual insights become one.
Teamwork doesn't mean everyone runs to left field when the ball is hit there.
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishment toward
organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to obtain uncommon results.
The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.
- Vince Lombardi
A big part of succeeding is teaming. That's why I establish filters for who I work with. That's not arrogance. It's confidence.
- Larry Smith
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Whenever ideas are shared, the result is always greater than the sum of the parts.
- Rich Willis
Teams, not individuals, are the fundamental learning unit in modern organizations. This is where the "rubber stamp meets
the road"; unless teams can learn, the organization cannot learn.
- Peter M. Senge, The Fifth Discipline
Most potential teams can become real teams, but not without taking risks involving conflict, trust, interdependence, and
hard work. For example, a common team purpose, set of performance goals, and approach rarely arise without conflict.
Indeed, quite the contrary -- the most successful teams recognize their members' conflicting views and experiences as a
source of strength. Similarly, mutual accountability requires trust and interdependence, which usually do not grow without
risk taking. And, finally, most potential teams include members who must develop the skills needed by the team after they
have joined the team itself. This, too, implies risks and hard work for everyone on the team.

We must all hang together,
or assuredly, we shall all hang separately.

Lewis B. Ergen
The ratio of We's to I's is the best indicator of the development of a team.

Synergy is the highest activity of life; it creates new untapped alternatives; it values and exploits the mental, emotional, and psychological differences between people.
Max DePree
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 individuals persons.
R. Meredith Belbin
Do you want a collection of brilliant minds or a brilliant collection of minds?
Baltasar Gracion, Spanish Priest
The path to greatness is along with others.
Doug Smith

Tom Bouchard
Teams are successful when they are focused, have a short cycle time, and are supported by the executives.
Coach Phil Jackson Chicago Bulls
The strength of the team is each individual member...the strength of each member is the team.
Norman Shidle
A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skills of the others.
Robert F. 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.
Dennis Kinlaw
Teamplayer: One who unites others toward a shared destiny through sharing information and ideas, empowering others and developing trust.
