Notes:
|
A critical premise
is respect for the opinions and ideas of
others. It is crucial to maintain the positive
chemistry of the team!
Consider The Platinum
Rule: "Treat others not as you would like to be
treated, but rather as they would like to be
treated" - Respect! The intent is to recognize
the humanity and worth of all members of the
team. All members of the team should prioritize
selflessly working together in achieving the
goal the team has set for itself |

“As French Philosopher Tocqueville rightly noted, in order for the
American experiment to succeed, personal liberty
must be fiercely protected, but also
carefully balanced with a commitment to the
common good.”

America Came Together a Century Ago and How We
Can Do It Again by Robert D. Putnam
