Nothing gets done if you don't work together

Every organization is based on teamwork. I don't know what your heros are, or if they are in politics, business world or just comics. I only know that we like to lookup to people to be encouraged. If you ask my little she is absolute fan of Jack and the Neverland Pirates. She learned something really important for life from this show. 

One person can do something great, but a team can do something significant.

So think about your organization. Is there anyone who takes over the show and makes every decision by him-/herself? For the greater goal of your nonprofit organization this person has to learn the value of a team and the team members have to stand up to make their case.

Like Micheal Jordan once said: “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.”

So let's see why is a team so important:

• Different point of view
• Teams can do many things at the same time to reach the goal
• Strengths and weakness become balanced
• More resources and ideas can be taped in
• Leaders are more accountable

The difference between a good leader and a great leader is not the better knowledge of the specific field or how much he/she is loved. A great leader is accountable for every step that the team is taking and the most important part is how much the leader knows about his own weaknesses.

Many leader have to point out that they are in charge because of their insecurity. That's why many of them putting members of their team down or hold them back instate to unleash their potential.

A great leader notice the strength and talents of each of their team members.

The ego of some of the team leaders are in the way of the teams development because of the fear that it someone could become better and fits more the leadership position.

Since I was a young boy I was a lone ranger who tried everything on his own. An attitude like this holed me back so many times to reach my full potential.

Don't wasted your potential by losing yourself in trying to do everything on your own. Lead your team by developing yourself and every one of your team.
