When people believe in each other, when
they believe that each team member will bring
superior skills to a task or responsibility, that
disagreements or opposing views will be worked out
reasonably, that each member’s view will be treated
seriously and with respect, that all team members
will give their best effort at all times, and that
every one will have the team’s overall best interest
at heart, then excellence can become a sustainable
reality.
