WORK LIKE THE LIONS



Ever heard of that feline called the Lion? I think that's an asinine question.  You see what I  did with the-ine words there?

 Well, when hunting the lion works in a team of "professionals" called a "pride", unlike its cousins the cheetah, tiger and the leopard.

Ever compared each animal's hunting success rate? Okay, that's for National Geographic to school us on the exact figures. But,  the clear definition of roles in the Pride is thrilling; the Spotter, the Distractor, the Catcher and all. Interestingly, that doesn't negate the fact that the lioness can also hunt (and succeed) alone, but the BIG kills in the jungle always require the team.

The professional environment is a "concrete jungle", involving competition with other companies and the same rules replicate themselves-in human form.

WORK AS A TEAM

Find the people who have the same goals as you do, so that the objectives and vision are clear, and always stay clear.

However, there are certain prerequisites that make for a "well-stewed" team. They are LOYALTY, HONESTY, NO BACK-BITING or GOSSIPING, CLEAR DEFINITION OF ROLES, DEDICATION AND THE POSITIVE MINDSET, RESPECT among other sub-prerequisites.

Most importantly for us, one ingredient that stands out is LOYALTY, a few of the other criteria are birthed from loyalty and that's why they say "Loyalty is expensive, do not expect it from cheap people".

Be loyal to your team. Be loyal to the organization. Achieve big things.

Go get them.
