Sayings about teamwork. Work with people. Teamwork. A selection of statuses for business

We are all part of a team project. The one where the individual takes the lead, forcing some participants to realize that their initiative is not welcome, while a select few ride on the backs of others.

With experiences like this, it's no wonder why so many people are traumatized by the nightmares of past group projects.

And yet, something incredible happens when the interaction happens exactly the way it should happen. Everything changes when everyone in the team is fully invested in a common goal and task. You work faster, find mistakes more easily, and make changes better.

Ultimately, you reach the point where you are confident that every person on your team is working as hard as you are - and your job satisfaction and productivity increase exponentially.

To inspire your team, we've compiled some of our favorite sayings about the power of collaboration.

Your employees are tired. They look depressed and overtired. They even started doing the work themselves and lost focus on the mission of the company. And you are so close to reaching your next goal.

You just need motivation, and in the most as soon as possible. At the same time, you know that a few words and a slight change in the mindset of your employees can make a difference.

So the solution is: find good quote. Send the right quote at the right time and it can make a huge difference in your staff's day. Here are 17 quotes you can use to motivate your team, and possibly yourself, when you need to quickly restore unity.

1. "Individual commitment to group effort: that's what makes a team, company, society and civilization work" - Vince Lombardi

Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi understood the importance of teamwork. He understood that the success of the team depends on the work of each individual member of it for a common goal. That is why his team won the first two Super Bowls in NFL history. It is important to draw the attention of all team members to the fact that each role, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is valuable to the overall success of the team.

2. "None of us is as smart as all of us together" - Ken Blanchard

Another great expression worthy of the “each of us is important” category. No single team member has as much knowledge and experience as the entire team. Therefore, it is important that team members listen to the opinions of others, learn from their colleagues and respect each other.

3. “Alone we can do so little; Together we can move mountains.” - Helen Keller

Great quote for the "loners" on your team. It is important that team members do not separate from the group and follow their own principles based on what they themselves consider to be best. Instead, they should work towards the success of the team as a whole.

4. “Teamwork is the ability to move towards a common vision together. It is the ability to manage individual talent for organizational purposes. It is the fuel that enables ordinary people to achieve extraordinary results." - Andrew Carnegie

If you want to learn how to be successful, there is nothing better than taking the advice of one of the founding fathers of the Industrial Revolution. Some entrepreneurs are famous for starting companies, Andrew Carnegie helped start an entire industry (the steel industry). He couldn't have done it alone. He needed a team. In this quote, he talks about how teams, united by a certain goal, can achieve extraordinary results. Given that he sold his steel company to J.P. Morgan for about $370 billion in today's money (as a percentage of GDP), it's safe to say that he actually confirmed what he preached.

5. "Talent wins games, teamwork and intelligence win championships" - Michael Jordan

To this day, many consider Michael Jordan to be the greatest basketball player in the history of the sport. However, he also knew the importance of teamwork.

Any team can win the "game". That is, it can pass certain milestones and achieve certain goals. On the other hand, a great team can win "championships". She is able to create a business on par with Amazon, AirBnB or Uber.

6. "Teamwork is so important that it's almost impossible to achieve the heights of your abilities or earn the money you want without achieving success in a team" - Brian Tracy

Motivational speaker Brian Tracy had a great point about teamwork in the quote above: Success is nearly impossible without teamwork. This is a great quote for employees after reaching a certain milestone as it reinforces the concept that goals can only be achieved by joint work commands.

7. “In teamwork, silence is not gold, silence is death” - Mark Sanborn

For a team to work effectively, open channels of communication must be available. If team members don't feel they can voice their doubts, disagree, or make suggestions, it's a sign that something is wrong with the team. Make sure everyone on your team understands that dialogue is always welcome.

8. "If you can have fun together, you can work together" - Robert Orben

Teamwork doesn't have to be all about business. Team members who can get along well with each other free time will also work better to achieve the company's goals. Provide time for your team to spend time together, whether it's sports competitions, informal communication or any other social events.

9. Boss Speed - Team Speed - Lee Iacocca

Lee Iacocca was one of the preeminent business leaders of the 20th century. This is partly due to the fact that he understood the importance of leading by example.

At what "speed" are you moving towards achieving your team's goals? Your team is moving at the same speed. Don't expect your team members to be more committed to success than you are. More often than not, their commitment will be similar to yours.

10. “The strength of the team is in each individual member. The strength of every single member of the team." - Phil Jackson

Basketball coach Phil Jackson understood that there was a mutually beneficial relationship between the team and its members. Of course, it is important that individual team members work towards a common goal. However, it is also important that the team supports individual members when necessary. When a team member feels overwhelmed or frustrated, the rest of the team should support them. When a team member achieves something meaningful, the rest of the team members should praise him.

11. “The members of a successful team don’t hold anything to themselves. They are not afraid to expose their "dirty laundry". They accept their mistakes, their weak sides and doubt without fear of judgment" - Patrick Lencioni

The quintessence of this quote is transparency. Team members must be open with each other, they must be able to read their teammates like a book. It is important that every member of the team treat those who make a mistake without judgment and with support. It is also important that team members readily acknowledge their shortcomings and opportunities for improvement. Thus, tasks can be distributed based on the strengths of team members.

12. “You need to know what others are doing, appreciate their efforts, recognize their successes and support them in their endeavors. When we all help each other, we all win.” - Jim Stovall

Motivational speaker Jim Stovall's advice is not just for team leaders, it's for individual team members as well. The point of this advice is that not only the team leader should provide positive support to team members when they achieve their goals. It is important that everyone gives praise to their teammates when they achieve meaningful results. Such a business culture will create a powerful team.

13. “There are no people who have achieved success on their own. You can achieve your goals only with the help of others.” - George Shinn

The owner of the Charlotte Hornets basketball team easily admits that he did not make himself. He achieved success with the help of others.

This quote may seem to apply only to leaders. However, it is important that all team members understand that the success of each individual member is directly related to the success of the team as a whole. If they understand this, they can work a little harder to make the team successful.

14. “If you want to build a ship, do not encourage people to gather timber, divide labor and give orders, instead, first teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

This quote is profound and very important to understand. Team members should not only have a short-sighted approach to team goals. In other words, they should not be given tasks without really understanding how the work they have done will lead to the success of the organization. Instead, team members should be fully aware of the “big picture” and understand how their individual responsibilities fit into the overall business strategy.

Don't teach team members how to make planks. Talk to them about the ocean.

15. “There is nothing better in the world than when someone on the team does something well and everyone gathers around him to pat him on the shoulder” - Billy Martin

A piece of advice from a former New York Yankees club manager to people who are part of the team: Don't forget to praise your teammates when they do something right. If you are a team leader then it is important that you cultivate a culture of praise in your organization.

16. "It doesn't matter how brilliant your mind or strategy is - if you play alone, you will always lose to those who play in a team" - Reed Hoffman

LinkedIn co-founder Reed Hoffman knows a thing or two about success. Here he says that he did not create LinkedIn alone. It is important that team members realize that achieving the goals of the organization is almost impossible without cohesive teamwork.

17. “If we all decide to play first violin, we will not make an ensemble. Therefore, it is necessary to respect every musician in his place" - Robert Schumann

This quote from German composer Robert Schumann is perfect if you need to make everyone on your team feel valued. Naturally, some team members will have responsibilities that seem more important than others. This may cause some resentment or frustration among other members. However, it is important to emphasize that each member of the team plays his own game, and no one can be more important than someone else.
