Teams In Our Fast Paced World!

Hi-

I remember back on the farm years ago the team work that went on day after day during the spring, summer and fall. (Winter was a time of Planning). Always something to do.

In the spring, summer and fall we would all get up when the sun did (very early). After a very hearty breakfast, together, discussing what needed to be completed during the day and who would be doing what we all scurried (sometimes shuffled) out the door to get the work done.

You see, in nature, when the sun is shining and the weather is good the harvesting is being done by everyone.

Some of us had the dubious pleasure of picking weeds in acres of garden and making large meals for the harvesters in the fields far from the farmhouse.

Others were on machinery or digging stumps, etc. Hard physical labour. That sun, sometimes during the heat of the day, was somewhat unbearable.

By the end of a long hard day of working together as a team we would sit at dinner and talk about the accomplishments we had throughout the day and all the wonderful food we were creating for others and the winter months ahead.

It was both a challenge and a reward.

Teams have not really changed all that much from back then.

To have a really successful team - Where two or more are gathered - It is important to consult, empower each other, and get the work done (Action).

If you are part of the team and want a harvest at the end of your day it is up to you to make it happen.

As you move forward in your day today reflect on what you really want to create? Who will help you make it happen? Who will do what? Then move into ACTION to make it happen. 'We reap what we sow.'

At the end of your day, remember the most important part of your day is to celebrate with your team all you have completed and the joy you had in doing it!
