These days, you seldom hear a star discuss the importance of teamwork. Typically, the “celebrity” drones on and on about his greatness without a mention of how others helped his organization’s success.
I presumed this would be the case with Baltimore Orioles’ Baseball Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson, who was chosen to deliver the keynote address at a trucking industry event that I attended. Was I ever wrong. Robinson’s overall message was, “Winning comes from teamwork; from working together toward the same clear goals — the team’s goals.”
