I read this from John Maxwell's Developing the Leaders Around You. Felt like it was too good not to share.

"Two shipwrecked men sat together at one end of a lifeboat, doing nothing. As they watched intently, the people at the other end of the boat were bailing furiously. One man then said to the other, 'Thank God that hole isn't in our end of the boat!"

For teams to be successful, you have to be willing to look out for one another, share workloads as needed and jump into tasks even if they are not your primary place of responsibility.

Teams are successful because the win for the team is the team winning. Team wins are better than individual wins.
