The Training Team   

"Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes."
- Lewis Grizzard

"The important thing to recognize is that it takes a team, and the team ought to get credit for the wins and the losses. Successes have many fathers, failures have none."
- Philip Caldwell 

"We trained hard....but every time we formed up teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn that we meet any new situation by reorganizing. And a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization."
- Petronius Arbiter,
210 bc

"One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork."
- Edward Abbey

"The speed of the boss is the speed of the team."
- Lee Iacocca

"A good manager is best when people barely know that he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despise him."
- Lao-Tzu (604 BC - 531 BC)
