Why Teamwork?
Teamwork is the theme of the SAA’s upcoming 14th Conference, May 28-31, in Minneapolis. every aspect of the Conference is built around the concept of Teamwork. It is at the heart of “Creating Learning Community” and a core value of the SAA. This fall, we invited members to post their thoughts about Teamwork on our website. You’ll find some of thei ideas in this issue, indicated by the Conference Teamwork logo.
Teamwork means noticing what needs to be done and pitching in to do it, realizing that although it may not be your responsibility and that you may never get credit for having done it, it makes a difference to the overall outcome, and that in and of itself is enough. Noticing requires alertness and involvement. Making the decision to get involved requires action. Not needing to be the one who receives the kudos requires a servant leader attitude. It is a pleasure to work with team players and the results increase exponentially.
