Without unity even the best organizations or teams will fall. It is vital that we remain selfless and work toward common goals rather than individual glory.
"Effectiveness and productivity are most likely diminished when you are plagued with individuals who view your team as secondary to their own interests." (p. 126)
The best way to defeat this mentality is to have a team of individuals that are eager to share the glory and slow to take the credit.
I'm actually going to take the question for this chapter directly from this chapter...
On page 124 Coach Wooden asks, "What is the impact of a negligible producer on other team members?" Think of a negligible producer as someone who doesn't contribute as much as they could to the team whether because they are focused too much on themselves, are lazy, or whatever the case may be.

POSTING
Instead of having each of you post (which would require me to add you all to a list a trusted users for each blog) I am going to post my favorite quote from the chapter each week. (for example: "Success") In the comments section of this post each of you can list your own favorite quote or idea for the chapter.
I will also post a general question from each chapter that each of you can again remark on in the comments section of that post.
I think this will keep things a little simpler and more organized than having everyone post.
Thanks,
Chris

About Me
Student Leaders of JICHS
You have been chosen to serve in a capacity of leadership. This is both an honor and a responsibility. We hope you will take pride in the positions you have earned, and we want to help you realize your highest level of leadership potential. It is not our intention for this to be a rigorous or demanding course of your time and energy, but we do want to expose you to what real and genuine leadership is all about. We want to be an open door for your questions and an example you can follow. We say this not with an air of self righteousness or haughty pride, but with the humility that is tied to one whose every move is scrutinized (just as yours will be by your peers). We (all of us - you included) will fall, we will fail, but without trials and challenges can we have success or victory? To have the courage to face difficulty and the humility to accept responsibility, this is the foundation of leadership, and this is the mentality we ask you to have and seek to help you develop. I look forward to working with each of you!
