“Tough times don’t last. Tough teams do.” ~ Robert Schuller
Lately, I have been reading a lot about honey bees and hive mentality. An individual bee is somewhat fragile with a short lifespan—maybe 20-60 days. Collectively, they support a hive that could last years and years. The individual bees are mortal and depend on each other to survive. The interdependence makes the sum far greater and tougher than the individual. It is more important that the community is strong, not just one bee. The same is true in any team.
