" An individual can do a task, while a team can do wonders." A family is a team, friend circle is a team, a communty is a team, a country is a team and entire mankind is also a team.
Everyone is good at onething and not so good at the other, luckily the things at which we are good or not are not always same. Which means that mine good can compensate for your's not so good and vice cersa. This trade-off is called teamwork and while in action it is referred to as teamplaying. Teamwork requires a set of values, ethics and rules on which the entire well being of team depends. Good commundication, cooperation, empathy for others, sense of fairness and justice, discipline and sense of responsibility are the main ones. As in sports teams like that of a football or cricket or hockey, we have specific players to take care of specific tasks and a general leader called captain to keep the entire team in order, aligned towards its end goal.
Teamplaying and leadership are interdependent things, such that there is no team without a leader. Similarly there is no leader without a team. " to keep the house in order " is the primary work of a leader which is the role of a manager, however leader is someone who is good manager atleast plus having good ethics, imagination, vision, skills and audacity. Selflessness is an ingredient of a good leader. In choice of Ambition Vs Mission, the one who chooses Mission is the one, worthy to be a leader. Leadership term is not restricted to social, political or military organisations only rather in every walk of life, a good healthy leadership is necessary.
