Quick post about teaming after watching the all blacks draw! Kieren Reid was talking about the team and three things he said stood out for me; no egos, hard working and selfless.
When I think about myself and teaming I'm definitely selfless and hard working, and like to think of myself as having no ego. When I dig a bit deeper though, I'm not always without an ego.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes having an ego can simply mean being proud of something you've done. The trick with teaming is to ensure that the pride doesn't come because you think you've done something better than someone else. And that this isn't what drives you. The later is true for me - what drives me is my desire to do the best I can for the children (and adults) in Pounamu not be the best.
This is something to bear in mind when getting ready for term 3 and the change back to having Rachel in the team again! To make sure what drives the team is the development of us as mentors and a team, and the progression of the children.
