Have you ever read a great book, a book that really speaks to you, and even though you have gained a certain meaning from it, someone else comes along and adds thoughts that make your understanding even deeper? Maybe you are part of a book club and you get many thoughts that enrich your understanding allowing you to enjoy the book on many different levels. It is the same for people.
Because each of us is complex and multi-faceted, working as part of a team brings out depth and aspects of our abilities that are not fully realized when working alone. As part of a team is where the full potential of your abilities and the abilities of others are shown. Your teammates bring things out in you that you have not developed to their fullest potential, abilities you may not have even known you possessed. You do the same for them.
The beauty of the team is magnified even further when you see the great aspects of others that other people bring out in them. For instance, a team member you think of as fairly quiet, could open up in interactions with someone else on the team and contribute great ideas. The interaction with that other person shows a side of that person that you would never know. How much greater could your efforts be through the understanding of others?
I am convinced that given the chance, each person can improve projects and strategy by offering their thinking and skills beyond what it says on their job title. The team environment gives individuals a chance to explore what they can offer beyond their job title. They can give more of themselves. By giving more, people do not just improve their work, but also improve their chances for career success.
