TRIBES:

TWITTER QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Does you workplace focus more on individual or team?

@jtnelso: ‘Our company’ truly focuses on each. But more so the individual.

@Stanleyyork: i think teams, b/c you build individuals through teamwork. rarely vice versa

guest: our workplace is all about building certain individuals

@mpaladino: Both, but would lean towards teams. Strong teams breed strong individuals. The converse of that is not always true.

Rodney: Revenue is the correct answer.

Rick: You develop people so that you have the building blocks to build a Team.  You can not sacrifice or prioritize one at the expense of the other.

Jennifer: My husband would say teams…as a high school principal he wants his staff to feel like a part of something bigger than just one classroom teacher, but I totally see Finley’s point about the church, too…

Alex: teams

Finley: individual for me…its one life at a time…that’s how we build the church

Scott: Teams

David: You build individuals with a team mindset. “Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done—because he wants to do it.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower. Individuals or members of a team matter not without leadership.
