It’s a great sunny dayso it’s time to get out and enjoy the weather.Many of us would like tobut we have projects duetasks that need to be donepeople that we need to seeand money that needs to be made.

What if your company gave you that time off as compensation for the great effort that you gave to the team to finish a project on timeSeewhen it comes to teamworkthe main focus is for the team to work together.In a “winning” team there is an equal balance of people who have unique strengths and weaknesses.

Take the example of the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s.Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player to play the gamebut did they win a championship every year when Michael had playedNo.It took a (D­type) Michael Jordan to lead the team and control the outcome.It took a(n) (I­type) wild and energetic Dennis Rodman to keep the team fun and interesting.It took (S­types) Scottie PippinBill Cartwrightand John Paxson to support the team.And it took the (C­type) analytical mind of Coach Phil Jackson to create a foundation for the players to play on.In the end theythe Chicago Bullswere able to win six championships within eight years.

What is your team made up ofAll JordansAll JacksonsAll RodmansOr all PippinsCartwrights and PaxsonsIt is you who can choose who’s on your team.Try finding the right people for the right joband you will have a “winning” team every time!
