Re: The Stereotyping of Successful Teams

For each successful team, someone or some group of people on that team had to work really hard to build the team to its level of success. Is it fair to demean the hard work that someone put in because of personal jealousy?

From my experience, team competition success seems more to be a function of the paradigm of the team as opposed to funding, number of members, or anything else (I won't list examples, but there are a number of teams I know of with $30,000+ budgets who achieve low to medium success each year). If one has a team culture of working hard and takes advantage of the talents of its members, one can leverage one's resources to produce the best possible season result.

Miss Daisy is a great program. I know our team learned a lot from them while on their alliance at Chestnut Hill. Great members all around, I made a ton of friends during that district event.
