Practical approaches for more effective teamwork:

Give credit, take responsibility
Get aligned on timeframes
Insist on a spec, write one, improve it
Agree on a budget
Keep a calendar
Don’t hold a grudge
Speak up clearly and generously
Show your work
Share your fears
Make promises and keep them
Do the reading
Talk about people only when they’re in the room
Eagerly find someone more skilled than you to do a given piece of work
Don’t hoard information
Wash your own coffee mugs, and someone else’s too
Celebrate in public, criticize in private
Don’t hide in meetings (especially the ones you call)
When you’re not sure, ask
Say back what you heard to be clear you understand
Don’t be late
Say please and thank you
Find and offer dignity
Ask what if
Ask why
Don’t tolerate bullies
When solo work is better, insist. Otherwise, pitch in or ask for help…
Support the people you believe in with honest enthusiasm
Pick your team with care, invest once you do
Relentlessly seek better
Words of wisdom from Seth's Blog. Thanks.

Part Of Charlie Chaplin's speech in "The Great Dictator"
“Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…”

Life becomes more meaningful when you understand the fact that you will not get the same moment twice in your life.
