There is an I in team, I & I & I & I......

There’s no I in Team

Nonsense, without I, there would be no team because the strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.

Whether at work, playing sport or working together in love, the team is greater than the sum of its parts when the individuals learn how to keep each others’ shortcomings in check and work to one another’s’ strengths.

Not all teams perform, some just form, or storm. I’m learning more about teams right now than I ever have. Odd though that this learning is happening when I’m spending more time than I can ever remember on my tod.

On my long journeys with my head in music and my mind on the open landscape I’ve been considering why I like being in a team so much and why this solo career is something I’ve really got to work at to get emotional reward from. I guess I’m one of those people who doesn’t like his own company as much as that of others. I know that when I’m around people I usually have a productive affect on them, and them on me.

Never more so than at home with Fi and the kickers. We don’t always see eye-to-eye, but we’re a productive and really solid unit. As a family our potential is limitless, we can climb the highest mountains together. So there is an I in team, I & I & I & I.

To live for the team, to sacrifice for the team, to take one for the team, because it’s the team prize, not the individual prize that matters. From your family to the whole of humanity, we’re better together….

One love
