11 Commandments for an Enthusiastic Teamby Ian Percy [1]
1 Help each other be right — not wrong. 2 Look for ways to make new ideas work — not for reasons they won’t. 3 If in doubt — check it out! Don’t make negative assumptions about each other. 4 Help each other win and take pride in each other’s victories. 5 Speak positively about each other and about your organization at every opportunity. 6 Maintain a positive mental attitude no matter what the circumstances. 7 Act with initiative and courage as if it all depends on you. 8 Do everything with enthusiasm — it’s contagious. 9 Whatever you want — give it away. 10 Don’t lose faith — never give up. 11 Have fun!!
