@rustyrockets I had absolutely the same experience here. My life has gotten so much better since i’ve found Christ and my feelings and emotions don’t take the best of me anymore. Cheers on sharing your experience with us!
When people talk about great teams, they'll talk about hard work, trust, respect, looking out for one another, etc. All good things.
But there's one quality amongst teammates on great teams that often goes unrecognized by all but the most astute organizational observers: Admiration.
Great teams are made of people who *admire* one another's talents, skills, character, and contributions. Great teams are mutual admiration societies that get to work together.
Admiration is the critical, silent variable in the powerful formula that equals exceptional teamwork.

Não existem atalhos.
