Jim Wendler on teamwork:

Teamwork is not something that can be taught without consequences. We?d like to think we are all about Teamwork until the shit hits the fan; then it’s every man/woman for themselves. This is the same thing that people do in marriages, relationships and in some cases, as parents. It’s easy when it’s easy but no one wants to stick around when it’s hard.

Teamwork is spreading the credit when it goes well and not selling your co-workers out when it doesn’t.

90% of the time people point fingers and go to the boss and complain/bitch about co-workers. Unfortunately, these kinds of people are rewarded.

1. Strong leaders.
2. People who are willing to fulfill their roles.
3. Team is willing to take care of problems internally,

Teams work together to bring everyone into the group.
Teams work together to make sure there is success.

Teams work to make weak people better.
