J- Apply the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" (Stephen Covey): 1.Be Proactive. Take the initiative. 2.Begin with the End in Mind. Shape a vision of your team's future and have a clear purpose. 3.Put First Things First. Once you've decided what your priorities are, you need to follow through.  4.Think "Win-Win." Work toward mutual benefit. Foster support, mutual respect, and interdependence.  5.Seek First to Understand...Then to Be Understood. Listen to others with understanding as the intent. 6.Synergize. Work in a way that the whole becomes greater than the parts. 7.Sharpen the Saw. Constantly look for new opportunities for improvement.  => Generate and sustain trust.  The team's trust in itself -- and its leadership -- allows members to accept dissent and ride through the turbulence  of the team process.

"Teamwork in its essence and at its best yields a whole, which is greater than the sum of its parts. In simpler terms, 1+1 adds up to more than 2. It allows a group of people together, to make decisions and/or carry out activities more effectively and with more confidence, than any one team member could."
