A Parable of Teamwork

In 1980, the U.S. Hockey Team won the gold medal in the Lake Placid Olympics. 

What made this victory incredible was that the team was composed mostly of novice college hockey players competing against professionals.

The U.S. team beat the heavily favored Soviet Union team, who had won the gold four times running and consisted of veteran players.

The story is told in the movie “Miracle,” which chronicles the rise of the team hockey coach Herb Brooks coached to greatness.

How did Brooks’ team win? Teamwork, of course. 

It was an iconic moment in sports, and it remains a great lesson for leaders in business. You can hire all the dazzling talent in the world, but without solid teamwork, you simply cannot win.

Teamwork makes the dream work.
