Many young people have probably never heard of Nancy Reagan, who died this week. She was the wife of President Reagan (whom some young people also may not have heard of!). When he was the President Mrs. Reagan was liked by many people and also disliked by some. The people who disliked her were usually people who disagreed with the President. Since she has died, we have heard nearly everyone talking about what a wonderful person she was, how many things she worked for (including her “Just Say No!” anti-drug program), and what an asset she was to her husband, and to his “team.”
The Code says, “I will be a positive influence on the relationships on the team.”
Many of us have teammates who may not be our best friends, and it is easy for us to see the things we don’t like about them. But, how can we learn to see the good things they offer? to see the positive ways in which they can help us? and even the ways they can make us be better teammates and persons? It’s easy to find fault with someone, but it’s also possible to see past the things that we don’t like to find the things that we do like. How can you do that? How will it help your team?
