Study Notes
The Law of Countability
- Countability is a crucial aspect of teamwork, especially in high-stakes situations
- It's about teammates relying on each other when it matters most
- The principle extends beyond sports and applies to businesses, families, and other groups
- Broken trust due actions like espionage can harm the team and the wider community
The Omni Demolition
- Demolition required careful planning due to the surrounding buildings (World Congress Center, MARTA station, CNN Center)
- The Omni was imploded quickly (in ten seconds)
- The Loizeaux family's demolition company (CDI) specialized in controlled implosions with explosives
- Explosives were strategically placed in the structure
- Building materials were carefully contained for safety
Key Elements of Countability
- Character: Trust forms the foundation of countability and a team
- Competence: Essential for accomplishing tasks and goals effectively
- Commitment: Teammate support during challenging times
- Consistency: Reliability and dependability in daily tasks
- Cohesion: Working together towards common goals
The Formula for Countability
- Character + Competence + Commitment + Consistency + Cohesion = Countability
- These five elements are fundamental to building a successful team
Building Team Character
- Examples like Lou Holtz's 12 USC Covenants emphasize values like honesty, accountability, and dependability
- Team character, based on trust, is needed to ensure successful outcomes
Importance of Competence
- Competence, combined with character, is essential to ensure quality work or service
Commitment in Teams
- Strong commitment from all team members is crucial for success
- Commitment is required, even when situations are difficult, to ensure a team's goals are met
Consistency in Teams
- Consistency demonstrates a team member's reliability from day to day, exemplified by Greg Maddux's career
- Shows that teammates can depend on a person continuously
Cohesion in Teams
- Cohesion involves a collective pride within the team, which ensures a commitment to a shared goal
- A team functions more effectively together than its individual members separately
