By continuing to build on the team strengths and by identifying the team weaknesses and working to strengthen them. In FRC, the growth and development of a team never stops. Dr. Cameron from FRC 842 posted in this thread and directed you towards the team's Chairman's submissions. Take the time to read them. 842 is now a Hall Of Fame team, having garnered the Championship Chairman's in 2008, yet they continue to develop and strengthen their team by setting new goals and working towards them each year.

What impact does your team have on the community that you are a part of? Look at that question and see if you can identify the community that I'm talking about. Examples: your school, your town or city, your state, your educational system - and keep on going.

Team development is rather like peeling back the layers of an onion - you accomplish goals that you've set as a team - that's one layer - then you look and there's another layer that hasn't been looked at, thought about, worked through, or achieved. Each year, as the team focuses on achieving the goals that are set, it makes for a stronger contender for the Chairman's Award, and perhaps, other awards as well.

Don't give up - get busy.

All the best,
Jane
