(Stephen Covey):

1.Be Proactive. Take the initiative.
2.Begin with the End in Mind.
Shape a vision of your team's future and have a clear purpose.
3.Put First Things First.
Once you've decided what your priorities are, you need to follow through. 
4.Think "Win-Win."
Work toward mutual benefit. Foster support, mutual respect, and interdependence.
5.Seek First to Understand...Then to Be Understood.
Listen to others with understanding as the intent.
6.Synergize.
Work in a way that the whole becomes greater than the parts.
7.Sharpen the Saw.
Constantly look for new opportunities for improvement. 

=> Generate and sustain trust. 
The team's trust in itself -- and its leadership --
allows members to accept dissent and ride through the turbulence 
of the team process.

Workshop Evaluation Form

"Teamwork in its essence and at its best yields a whole, which is greater than the sum of its parts. In simpler terms, 1+1 adds up to more than 2.
It allows a group of people together, to make decisions and/or carry out activities more effectively and with more confidence, than any one team
member could."
