As a leadership intern at the Honor Academy in Garden Valley, Texas (2001-2002), I became involved in a program known as Knighthood in which the men on campus were challenged to develop character and be genuine leaders. One of the things that happened during my induction into the group was that I was given a Greek name to symbolize my new identity. The name meant vision and gave me a sense of great destiny and purpose. However, the best thing was the relationships that came out of the group. We, in a way, became a support team for one another.
In very much the same way, we need support teams for every day life. The age of the lone ranger is forever gone. Teaming up with others enables a shared sense of vision for the future. The team is able to develop goals that are bigger than individual goals and can easily be realized. Being part of a team builds confidence and spreads responsibility. It also allows people within the team to mentor each other.
Teamwork makes the future workable; it makes the dream work! Nothing generates more energy in an organization than a team that is cohesive. Embrace your team and lift it to a higher level!
