Prioritize the Mission Over the Individual

Shared responsibility is essential for team cohesion and often outweighs social bonds among teammates. While traditional team bonding activities may focus on relationships, true effectiveness stems from investing in a shared goal. Leaders, like Herb Brooks, emphasize that the mission should come before individual accolades, promoting a culture where the collective objective is valued over personal ego. This focus on unity around a mission fosters better team performance and strengthens the commitment to the group's success.
