The Ideal Team Player

The Ideal Team Player is always in demand. Sports, business, volunteer organizations…maybe even families.

The Ideal Team Player is a book that came highly recommended to me, and with good reason.

humility

hunger

people smarts

Here’s a way to improve in the first essential virtue Lencioni lists: “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought.” (Romans 12:3)
