I work for a project-driven marketing agency and we’re only as good as our weakest link because we have such specialized skills with each task that oftentimes, only one or two people in the company might be able to do it. We have to be able to work together or else we really won’t get anything done, and people that really don’t embrace that sense of respect or work ethic don’t wind up lasting too long (and fortunately we work normal hours doing this).

There’s no “I” in “team,” but there is an “m” and an “e.”

That silliness aside, sports are less of a good example than they used to be. Free agency in the NFL and showboating in the NBA both encourage individualistic idol-worship and narcissism among aspiring athletes. Just look at how the US basketball team fared early on during the last Olympiad; a group of extremely talented professional athletes that just weren’t working together.

You know, there’s no “I” in “Team”.

But there’s also no “Team” in “F–K You!”
