Instead, we will find that successful teams are founded on trust. But when we take a closer look at the inner workings of a successful team, we discover that it takes a lot more than skills and talent. What makes a high-performing team? When asked this question, we tend to look at skill set, proficiency, and knowledge as critical contributors to a team's success. The model suggests that choosing the "supermen or superwomen" can create unhealthy competition, which does not benefit the organization. Employees need social support, and they need to go to each other for help. The concern is that in business, everybody has value on the team. Dweck's research has shown that this method fosters employee collaboration and cooperation. She claims that organizations that are thriving do not label employees. Dweck claims - that talent should not be praised. Some people try to prove they are smart, and others believe they need to work harder. According to Stanford University researcher Carol Dweck, people have different views on success. In business applications, employees work to become a "Super-Chicken," and at times, they keep their colleagues down so that they stay on top. In the supper chickens group, Muir found that only three survived as the group had pecked each other to death. He grouped average egg-laying chickens and the prolific egg-laying flock, which he calls "the super chickens." He kept these chickens in their groups for two generations and found that the average chickens were doing fine and consistently produced eggs. ![]() Muir segregated chickens based on their egg production. William Muir experimented using chickens. The name makes an analogy to the interactions among chickens observed in a study by Purdue University evolutionary biologist William Muir. It is argued that this can be counterproductive because of the adverse effects of hyper-competitiveness on a group's dynamic and that recruitment that emphasizes collaboration over individual excellence can result in greater productivity. Humanity has survived a lot of tests and I am sure that we will survive the current tide as well.The Super-chicken model refers to team recruitment that favors bringing together highly driven overachievers. What strikes me the most about the video is the stories that Simon shares and how each of the story leads back to what he wants to talk about. In conclusion, I think these are simple yet profound advice for not just students or youth of our nations to follow but for all of us to live our lives by. Lets not allow success and the perks that it comes with, go to our head. Lets learn that perks of success is for our position and not for ourselves. Its not meant for you but for your position: Lets sit in a circle (no power play) and be the last to speak. ![]() Lets try to understand not just what are the opinions of others but also why they have the opinion they have. Lets learn the skill to hold our opinion till we have heard everyone else. Help is available for those of us who seek help. Its about accepting help when we are offered and learning to to ask for help, when needed. It is about helping people to the left of us and the people to the right of us. Its not about how tough, smart or how fast we are. ![]() Without accountability comes no responsibility and without responsibility comes no success. There are times when we are the problem, our belief system is the problem, our mindset is the problem and at times our actions is the problem. Let’s take accountability for our actions. Let’s focus on what we want and go after it rather than focus on what is in the way of what we want. We just can’t deny anyone else what they want. There are two ways to see the world – to see what we want or to see everything that stands in the way of what we want. Rule is – We can go after any thing that we want. If you don’t have the 18 mins and want to know what are the 5 rules that he talks about quickly, they are as follows: Go after the things that we want: I highly encourage to watch the video below (about 18 mins). ![]() He shares these lessons through some very interesting and compelling stories. I came across this video where Simon Sinek talks about 5 rules to live by.
