Rule # 1 - The 17 Indisputable Rules of Teamwork

Recently, while I was researching something for a class, I came across this list of the 17 Indisputable Rules of Teamwork by John Maxwell. I liked the list so much I have printed it and sent it to some of my friends, many of which have been on my team in life. It adds a little perspective to things when you consider that the middle class in our country is shrinking and your generation is more likely to "boomerang" home after college as rising costs of housing spin up and out of control. I am going to blog each of the seventeen separately so you can take the time to reflect on their independent significance. The rule was part of the list; the comments are mine for you to respond to.


Rule # 1: The Law of Significance:
One Is Too Small a Number to Achieve Greatness

No one person is so important as not need the support or input from someone else. It is often said that behind every famous or important person is their mentor. Few people, if any achieve success without the help of others. Think about the people in your life that are behind the scenes and allow you to accomplish what you do. You likely perform some of those same things for people in your life. We need each other; virtually no one can be successful alone.
