Standing Together While Standing Out: A New Vision for Health Sciences Teams
NBA legend Michael Jordan once said, "There is no 'I' in Team, but there is in win." This quote highlights the tug and pull we feel when striving for individual success while balancing the needs of the teams that we are on. As we think about the health sciences, how do we balance the desire to excel individually by balancing the needs of the team? Whether we are in the fields of sports, recreation, physical education, healthcare, social work, psychology, or exercise, we face choices that can benefit us but hurt our team, and vice versa. Therefore, what does it take to be a true team player? Is winning/achievement all that matters? Is a team as strong as its weakest link? How do we create healthy environments that put our egos aside for the greater good of the individuals we serve?
