For decades great athletic teams have
harbored one simple secret that only a few select business teams
have discovered, and it is this: To play and win together, you must
practice together.
- Lewis Edwards.
Teamwork is the ability to work together
towards a common vision. The ability to direct individual
accomplishment toward organizational objectives; it is the fuel that
allows common people to attain uncommon results.
