Team work

What team work really means to you ? Do you believe team work is important in your day to day schedule ? Why ?

I'm very much into being a team player - I've never been able to get my head around being a plain ahead leader, which has actually probably held me back a few times on the work front.

Still, I much prefer to work in a team if I can...

When my husband and I work together things really click...we get more done and everything isn't so one-sided.

It clicks only when you make a team with your husband ?

I think there's a certain amount of teamwork in relationships ...to make them work. I do not work with my husband though and wouldn't want to.
I really prefer working on my own after a number of years in corporate life where teamwork was mandatory. You don't always get to choose your teammates LOL.

I agree.

This is one of the main reason I started this thread. We like it or not, we cannot make a team with everybody. You must have something in common with the person you have to work with or compensate with something your partner is not so strong.

I have always found that being a part of a team requires giving of yourself but in most cases is well worth the effort because there is always something to be gained from another's point of view, experience or knowledge, even if the gain is not positive.

Did you ever have the feeling, in a team work, that one works a lot and the other one gives the impression to work ?

I think you have to have team work in a marriage. It makes a marriage run a lot smoother. Although I feel there is always some friction. That what makes it interesting.

If there are two in the home, it takes both to make things work. No one person can handle everything associated with the two. Now, having said that, all of us have our ebbs and flows - sometimes one partner will be giving ninety percent and the other ten. That is okay short term, as long as the trend changes and the ten percenter begins to take some of the pressure off the ninety percenter.

Marriage is not a fifty-fifty thing - it is a covenant to support and nurture one another during the highs and lows, so that together the two people can build a successful life.
