The definition of team is a bit ambiguous as to how well they work together, or what they are working towards, however one would assume that the entire team would be working towards a common goal, and that they should also work well together.
Most of us will immediately think of the teams of our favorite sport, such as football, baseball, basketball, rugby, soccer, or even NASCAR race teams.
All of these teams have a goal - to be the best in their sport and to beat other teams in their league. As many of you know, I am an avid Buffalo Bills and also Sabres fan. I am quite used to having my team NOT do very well and they rarely accomplish their goals. The Sabres are still DEAD LAST in the NHL conference as a whole for this year.
So, what happens when a team is not doing well? Changes need to be made. Those who are performing poorly tend to be cut from the team, and it may be necessary to find out why some players are not working well with others on the team. If these changes do not work, it may be necessary to make even bigger changes that involve changing the team's leadership (coaches).
Even then it still may take time for the changes to help out. Keep in mind all of the other teams are doing everything they can to improve themselves and be the best they can be too!
I have a few friends that when they need something they will post something on a social media site that begins with "Team" followed by their name.
I think this is a neat concept and feel honored that these people think of me as someone who is on their team.
This got me thinking about my team, what the goals are, and who I want on my team. Now, there is not an option to swap out the coach on Team John, however the players on the team should be there to help him out. Some members on the team are there for moral support, some for comedic relief, and others to be cheerleaders.
There are others that are on my team that used to be helpful for me and my goals, but now they are just riding the pine as of late.
Needless to say I have been doing a lot of thinking about my team roster, and what needs to be done to keep my team performing the best that it can.
Keep in mind that just because I have you as a friend/follower on a social media site does not mean you are automatically on my team, that is a privilige that is only afforded to a select few. You know who you are, and when I make my cuts, you may not know it right away, but you will learn soon enough when things change between us and I no longer come an lean on you for support. But those who are on Team John, you are well aware of who you are and I am very greatful to have you in my life to support me on this journey.
I strongly urge all of you to think about the team that you have assembled to help you on your journey through life and work on building a team that is there to help push you to be the best you can be and also get you to the goals you want to accomplish in life and most importantly love you and support you for who you are.
