Together is Better

I have found a new running buddy. He is a 26 year-old athlete who played college baseball and is a family friend. I think I am getting him addicted to this running early in the morning. Some highlights:

- when you want to sleep in and not run, you can't. Instead, someone is waiting for you.
- Someone who is in definitely better shape and runs a little faster than you do, and pushing you a little harder . . . makes you a better runner
- Running goes faster when you have someone to talk to along the way. When you are approaching the end, it's like "wow, we are already here".

As with a running buddy, a leader needs a team or colleague(s) for the same motivation and success

- the entire team and unit is motivation in itself . .. the team is dependent upon you. Business is not necessarily an individual sport.
- Colleagues (who might know more than you on some subjects) will push you and in the end you will have a better product (plus you might have learned something new)
- We face challenges all the time in business, those times seem to be easier and quicker when you accomplish it as a team, instead of doing it alone!

Dont do it alone, find a team or buddy!
