I know it’s not Christmas, but I just had to share our Christmas tree teamwork with you…
Every year my wife makes the kids and I traipse around 6 garden centres to find the perfect Christmas tree. Nyreen then gets us to hold it straight, whilst she checks it for height, girth, shape & density. And we don’t pick one until it fits the required criteria and most importantly, we all agree (this bit can take a while).
And I must admit, I always moan like hell saying ‘it’s just like clothes shopping. You see something you like and spend the next 3 hours visiting every other shop. Before coming back to the first one to buy the item you first liked’.
But I’ll be honest, it’s taken me a while to understand that sometimes it takes teamwork to make an important decision that affects more than just you.
…and I’m not talking about the clothes shopping.
Has it ever taken a while for something like our teamwork example to sink in with you?
