the wow moment!

OK…so here we go…of late i have had a chance to be a part of several teams, it doesn’t take an Aristotle to tell you that in the real world nothing is ever perfect, there are always nasty curves and bumps, but, people don’t quite seem to realize that, everyone wants everything else around them to be perfect. Humans have that inherent tendency to want perfection everywhere, they spend days and months trying to put things in order, waiting for the perfect people to come into their lives et cetera et cetera, i personally don’t endorse this theory. Life is short and it makes more sense to work with whats in hand than wait for perfect timings and perfect people around you. Sorry i went a little astray from the topic but that doesn’t quite matter. Coming back, all the team members have both the good and the bad things about them. It takes a leader to spot the good in them and use it to the best possible extent, leaders in most cases want all team members to grow and learn. i say all that is crap. lets be very simple and logical, no high funda theories, any team is like a system, and when it comes to considering what a system is all about, look at yourself, the legs do the walking, the hands do the work, the mouth does the eating etc. Now, if you want the hands to learn the walking, do you expect it to be of any use(unless you are a circus clown), the hands should be taught to work better, the legs to walk better so on so forth. That is exactly how its supposed to be for a team. One more thing i noticed in team work: heroism, the moment this comes in, the entire team is screwed. If you are someone with the basic common sense levels, you’d surely realize that in all teams, each and every individual needs others from the team, is needed by others by others from the team, else they wouldn’t have formed the team in the first place! So heroism in teams sucks to the core. It doesn’t benefit anyone. As in everything else humans do, teamwork also involves a lot of ego and emotion running across, there will always be weird people around you with strange ideologies and mentalities. The smarter you are, the swifter you glide through them.
