We speedygeese are a team. Meaning - social skills are important. These include:
Listening. It is important to listen to other people's ideas. When people are allowed to freely express their ideas, these initial ideas will produce other ideas.
Discussing. It is important to discuss your ideas with your teammates until you agree.
Questioning. It is important to ask questions, interact, and discuss the objectives of the team.
Persuading. Individuals are encouraged to exchange, defend, and then to ultimately rethink their ideas.
Respecting It is important to treat others with respect and to support their ideas.
Helping. It is crucial to help one's coworkers, which is the general theme of teamwork.
Sharing. It is important to share with the team to create an environment of teamwork.
Participating. All members of the team are encouraged to participate in the team. (usually consist of three or more people)
Communicating. For a team to work effectively it is essential team members acquire communication skills and use effective communication channels between one another e.g. using email, viral communication, group meetings and so on. This will enable team members of the group to work together and achieve the team's purpose and goals.

I always intended this blog to be a forum rather than my jornal. This year it has become more of a journal because there is an interst in what rtraining I personnally do and why. But I would be happier if there was much moe partyicipation and interaction. This blog continues to be my primary communication mechanism. Both ways. Thank you to the few who regularly take advantage of it. I wish more would.
I deliberattly left thetypos and grammatical blunders ib the above paragrah to show you how badl ny fusrt draft looks! Don't worry how your communications via this blog look to anyone else, just do it! I just type very fast & fix it up after.
If the speedygeese group becomes VERY LARGE then this brings challenges to do with how a team working environment operates. However we are small enough that the wikipedia list of principles generally applies.
I remember in my workplace before I retired, managers knew all this stuff but had no idea how to apply it. That was just a nightmare better forgotten. But we choose to train together, we have many common interests. Hopefully we can apply it.
What do you think needs to be done first?

Let's sing! let's dance! let's all wear fancy pants!
The above rhymes with an eastern austrlian accent but not with a southern one. OK, I won't write any more poetry. But let's go into print even wjhen we are in a funny mood!
Working as a team gets much more effective results than working alone does.
