Aristotle said “The whole is great than the sum of the parts.” A so it is: a team can achieve much more than the sum of the individuals’ work.
We perceive ourselves to be fallible entities with a unique set of talents and weaknesses. When we work together as a team we can complement each other, share our strengths and negate each others weaknesses.
It is easy for an individual to slip back into old habits, negative thoughts and beliefs. As a team we can remind each other to be present, to be aware. We remind each other of our intention to be who we want to be. Some teams do this naturally with great results.
If the members of the team get together and agree that they will keep the team pumping, they take the team to a higher level. If they can agree on a common goal, even better. If they agree together to be the outcome they want, things will really take off.
This is what some managerial mission or vision statements try to achieve, but often fail, as the whole team hasn’t been included in the process and it is not their voice.
When a team creates a goal for themselves, for example “The people of our city are vital”, then speak it into reality and live it, that goal happens. The speed and magnitude of that change is directly related to the teams awareness of their power. With practice, people discover how powerful their words are, and results can be instantaneous and stunning.
