The 17 Indisputable LAWS of TEAMWORK Team Empowerment John C. Maxwell
The First Five Building Blocks of Teaming • The Law of Significance • The Law of the Bad Apple • The Law of the Chain • The Law of the Price Tag • The Law of Mount Everest
The Law of Significance • One is too small a number to achieve greatness • Teams involve more people • Teams maximize a leader’s potential and minimize his/her weaknesses • Teams provide multiple perspectives on how to meet a need or reach a goal • Teaming allows for the sharing of results • Teams keep leaders accountable • Teams can simply do more than individuals
Law of Significance (con’t.) • WHY DO WE STAND ALONE? • Ego • Insecurity • Naïveté • Temperament
Law of the Bad Apple • ROTTEN ATTITUDES RUIN TEAMS • Attitudes can lift up or tear down • Attitudes compound when exposed to others • Bad attitudes compound faster than good ones • Attitudes are subjective • Rotten attitudes, left alone, ruin EVERYTHING
Law of the Chain • The Strength of the Team is Impacted by its Weakest Link • The stronger members identify the weak one • The stronger members have to help the weak one • The stronger members come to resent the weak one • The stronger members become less effective • The stronger members question the leader’s ability
Law of the Price Tag • The Team Fails to Reach Its Potential When It Fails to Pay the Price • The Price Must Be Paid by Everyone • The Price Must Be Paid All the Time • The Price Increases If the Team Wants to Improve, Change, or Keep Winning • The Price Never Decreases
Law of Mount Everest • As the Challenge Escalates, the Need for Teamwork Elevates • What is the DREAM ? • Who is on MY Team ? • What Should My Dream Team Look Like? • Develop Team Members • Add Key Team Members • Change the Leadership • Remove Ineffective Members
