When it comes to being a member of a team, what role do you think you should play? Legendary Alabama football coach Bear Bryant said, " In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first--ahead of personal glory." Yet, according to general George S. Patton Jr., "If everyone is thinking alike then somebody isn't thinking." When it comes to getting results without authority on your team, it's necessary to do both. In this course, you'll learn how |
