Good old lessons in teamwork from an age-old fable The Tortoise And The Hare

The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race.

The story continues .

Hare challenged the tortoise to another race. The tortoise agreed.

Ok.

Can we have another race?

Moral of the story Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady.

The story continues.

Tortoise thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race, but on a slightly different route. The hare agreed.

Can we have another race? This time well go through a different route.

Sure!

Moral of the story First identify your core competency and then change the playing field to suit your core competency.
What should I do?

Great! I think we could do it much better, if we two help each other.

Hi, buddy. How about doing our last race again?

There, the tortoise took over and swam across with the hare on his back.

On the opposite bank, the hare again carried the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together. They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction than they'd felt earlier.

The moral of the story It's good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core competencies; but unless you're able to work in a team and harness each other's core competencies, you'll always perform below par because there will always be situations at which you'll do poorly and someone else does well. Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership, letting the person with the relevant core competency for a situation take leadership.
