I just finished reading an article published in
2013 about Bears' Coach Mark Trestman. Coach Trestman is a man that I've come
to admire after reading his book, watching how he carries himself, and
observing his ability to get a team to "buy in" to a unified
organizational vision. This paragraph from the story sums it up well:
"It was never about titles," Trestman says standing on the field in Bourbonnais. "We never talked about it. We talked about building authentic relationships so on gameday they knew you had their back. It wasn't you gave pep talks, it was showing guys how valuable relationships are and how working hard will give you a chance at success."
And that's really the secret to group success.
Whether you're on an athletic team or working for an organization. It's not
about your personal goals and ambitions. You don't try and win for yourself. You
strive to win for your teammates and co-workers. And ultimately, you win and
elevate the organization by helping THEM win.
