EQ Motto of the Week: Leadership requires team-focus above self-focus. Group work, whether it is in school or at work, can be challenging. Yet, you will likely have a lot of group work in life because when people work together and share their talents, they often achieve remarkable things. “Great things in business are never done by one person.”-Steve Jobs Working in teams can be frustrating because we are often not able to choose whom we work with, and we cannot control the actions of other people in our group. The most important thing is to focus on what we can contribute to the group and what we can control, which is our own actions. It can be easy to believe school isn’t the real world, and therefore we don’t need to put much effort into group work now. Instead, we may think we will step up when it really matters. But skills such as cooperation, patience, effort, follow-through, and discipline don’t just appear because we decided to suddenly use them – they are a lot like muscles. They become stronger with every use. These skills are ours to use because we honed and developed them over time. What we get from group work is not just about a grade. It is also about the opportunity to develop these skills. You receive from a group exactly what you put into it. Regardless of what other people are bringing to the group, bring your best self. Sure, there will be those who do as little as possible but let their actions speak to their character and let your actions speak to yours. Life is not on hold until you think it matters. Life is happening right now. You make it matter. Be good to yourself, Danna Evans All Things E.Q
