good team spirit.

Fact Finding

The team is the basic building block in TNTT. Welearn from our Leaders and often interact with other

members in the same age group, but the people we

closest with and rely on the most are our teammates.

Our success in TNTT relies heavily on how we workwith others.Therefore, it is essential that we

contribute the overall spirit of the team and cooperate

with others for the a common goal. What is needed

for team spirit?

Raise the Teams Reputation

Take discipline seriouslyIn a team-oriented setting, it is essential to follow the

principle of first, do no harm. This idea is easier

said than done. If we are undisciplined in individual

activities, then we are mostly hurting ourselves.

However, with a team, we become the weak-link or

the dead weight that is weighing down the team and

slowing its progress. Make self-discipline a priority

because our actions impact more than just ourselves.

Do it for the honor

Avoiding mistakes is a good start but more is

required for high team spirit. In TNTT, good deedsare valued but intent is just as important (if notmore). Our actions must not come from fear of

punishment or greed for rewards, but rather from a

sense of honor. Leaders and fellow teammates can

sense the motivation behind our actions, and they willthink higher of our team if they see that our actions

are genuine and sincere.

Create Closeness with the Team Members

A Team is like a family. We may not always get

along, but everyone needs to love (like brothers andsisters) and respect one another. Teammates are

often required to collaborate with one another on anassigned project. Everyone works harder when they

truly respect and admire the people around them. For

a team to have good spirits, it is crucial that each

team member respects others in the team.

Members of a team should make honest efforts to

know one another. Being a team should not stop

when outside the classrooms. Teammates should

spend time with each other during breaks or outside

of TNTT time. There is no team stronger or more

effective than a team of friends.

Plan Everything

Success requires preparation. This is especially true

with a team because the actions of each teammate

often needs to be coordinated with one another. Forevery task assigned, the team should research and

understand what is needed. Responsibilities should

be divided and the teammates should collect

determine to execute their duties.

Create a Cheerful Atmosphere

When people are happy, work gets done faster.

Being a good teammate requires more than simplydoing your share of the work. A good team member

is also attentive his/her teammates and should be a

source of encouragement for others when needed.

Fairness

When splitting up work amongst teammates, it is

important that everyone gets an equal share.

Everyone is more motivated when they feel that they

are being treated fairly. The task of delegating

responsibilities is often belongs to the Team Captain.Every team member needs understand and sincerely

accept any task that is assigned to them.

Summary

High team spirit is crucial to the success of a

team.
