What makes the Good, So good?

[Erin Rapacki]

My guess at why the 'good' are so 'good' could be considered somewhat irrelevant because teams develope into 'good' teams for many different reasons. But still... my guess is the people. For instance... all a 'good' team needs is one 'go-getter', one leader, one extremely ethusiastic FIRST participant that wants to do things and knows how to get things done. But, that one person needs people to support their ideas, their interests, and their enthusiasm. No team could be made up of one person... and if the Best FIRST Leader in the World is on a lazy team, that team is going nowhere. But back to the point... this is how it works in the beginning. Then, as years go by, those followers become leaders themselves, acquire new followers (I'm talking about new students and mentors), and that keeps going around in a full circle untill nearly everyone on the team is a leader and a constructive thinker. When a team has many willing and excited participants, they can do anything.
