No matter your definition of team, one of the best examples of true teamwork is the beloved Ted Lasso who’s had so many words of wisdom, there is a book (or 5). His undying belief that a dynamic team will beat anything (despite not knowing ANYTHING about the sport) was a great showcase of the power of teamwork.
“Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.” – Ted Lasso
The last few years have been nothing but new challenges and new obstacles. But one thing holds true despite all of the changes and evolutions of our business- teamwork. Unifying your team to one common goal, having them work together and not against each other, finding commonalities, creating energy, and forming bonds are the things that can take good to GREAT.
