What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you love, give it the best there is in you, seize your opportunities, and be a member of the team.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success.
We are working towards a shared vision of the future for health among all the world's people. A vision future in which we develop new ways of working together at global and national level. A vision which has poor people and poor communities at its centre. And a vision which focuses action on the causes and consequences of the health conditions that create and perpetuate poverty.
This is definitely a playoff team. There's no question about that. It's just a matter of how much we want it.
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision.
We are way more powerful when we turn to each other and not on each other, when we celebrate our diversity, focus on our commonality, and together tear down the mighty walls of injustice.
Either we're a team or we aren't. Either you trust me or you don't.
I invite everyone to chose forgiveness rather than division, teamwork over personal ambition.
Well, I suppose you know that men will stand a good deal when they are flattered.
When was ever honey made with one bee in a hive?
Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.
There's a tipping point that happens with soccer in which you just kinda get it. I was drawn to it because the best soccer teams play similarly to my favorite basketball teams - like the eighties Lakers or eighties Celtics - teams that emphasized teamwork over individualism and relied on passing as their biggest ongoing edge.
Great teams do not hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal.
