It’s not about me, it’s about us!
The most successful teams, and people, have a Team > Me attitude. What you do can’t be all about you. If you rely on yourself alone, when you fail, it will crush you. It’s the old adage, “If you want to go far, go together; if you want to go fast, go alone.”
The truth is people get further by going together.
When everyone is rowing the same direction, the boat moves swift and smooth. When just one person decides not to do their part, or focus on just themselves, the boat gets off course and fights rougher water.
Don’t be all about yourself. Resist the urge for personal glory and sacrifice for what is best for the team/organization. Go be great!
