You Are A Team

Team- a group organized to work together. If you did not know all ready that is the definition of team. Since this definition is true, then why is it I see team members trying to destroy each other lately. When it comes to our congress men and women in Washington, to local organizations. I have noticed that in today's world people don't want to work together and just want to make their lives better instead of working with the whole team. One example would be this past week. An organization was trying to figure out who would be the new President and Vice-President of the board. Apparently those in the organization had already discussed who was getting what position. Well one day a particular person from the organization was whining that it wasn't fair that they weren't Vice-President of the organization yet. Well some of the team members on this board turned around and made sure she got her way. This pissed off members of the board and now there is and will be tension with in this organization. This story pisses me off because they are suppose to be a TEAM!! Who cares that you haven't been the Vice-President of the board until now. The person just received the position because she complained the whole time. Maybe it wasn't suppose to be your time. If you need to whine to get your way,you are going to piss of a lot of people. Besides what kind of example are you showing your children? I give credit to the person who was suppose to receive the position and didn't receive it. Yes this person was upset and in shock like some of the other members of the organization, but he sucked it up and is now being a team player. If you believe for one second that whining will get you anywhere, don't bet on it. I was taught that if you want things to get done, you need to be a team player and realize you aren't always going to get your way. My point is this, if you are dealing with anything that involves team work, work as a TEAM! Don't form little clicks to make sure a specific person gets his or her way. If you want things to get done, and make sure everyone is happy, work together.
