Who Cares? An Ounce of Care on a Team is Worth a Thousand Pounds of Everything Else

"Who Cares?"

I have heard those two words used together innumerable times throughout my life, but to my recollection, only as rhetoric to convey the negative message that nobody cares about the topic being discussed.

"So," you might wonder, "who cares about this topic?"  I didn't until a couple of years ago when I was frustrated and wrote some notes down for myself in regard to building the right team.  You see, the typical approach was good and it involved building teams on the basis of many parameters--skill, experience, willingness, character, chemistry, even geographic location--but something was missing.

To build sustainable teams that can overcome considerable obstacles and reach the goal time and time again, start by finding out who really cares.  It is a simple approach that can transform your efforts.  Just remember that an ounce of true care on a team is worth a thousand pounds of everything else.
