Relationships define our world, and the people whom we choose to be on our team form the basis of our potential success—or lack thereof—because it is together that we define and implement our most cherished goals.
There are specific qualities that I believe characterize highly functional teams: a shared vision of the future of the group, a genuine interest in one another’s perspectives, and mutual trust and respect.
Similarly, the values we have in common help to propel us as a group and individually toward our achievements, and so it is essential to know your core values and identify those of others. Some of my core values are discipline, heart, creativity, thoughtfulness, pragmatism, and responsibility; and so I thrive with people who value these traits.
