This week's Block: Team Spirit
- This block address a most important characteristic: selflessness which is the opposite of selfishness.
- I mean by this that you are eager to sacrifice personal glory or gain for the greater good, namely, the welfare and success of your organization, your team, your group.
- For me it meant I was constantly searching for that player who would make our team 'great' rather than a someone who was just a 'great player'.
- There is a big difference and that difference is what constitutes Team Spirit.I did not want a person on our team who was reluctant to sacrifice for the good of the team. I prized the individual who was eager to sacrifice for our common good.
