Ability to develop a common Dharma from the Dharma of diiferent people and ensure that the common objective is met.
A team is a collection of people with a common objective (Dharma – value system). What makes this entity so important? How does the performance of a well-trained & led team make a difference?
Example: Let us compare two different football teams, one of novices and another of professionals. Novices normally never play in any single position. In any game, one person would kick the ball and everyone would run after it. As a result, everyone wants credit for the goal and this gives rise to prima donnas, who never pass the ball. On the other hand, professional team members are specialists who maintain their own positions. Though each team member has his own characteristic style of playing, the team operates on the principle of give and take, with one Dharma (value system). As a result, the team wins.
Teaming is not confined to physical possessions but also includes the ability to share thoughts, information, credit and criticism.
