Text motivational - The broken pot and teamwork

A young water carrier always carried two pots hung on each end of a pole .

                                              

    One of the pots had a small crack , while the other was whole and always delivered a full of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master 's house charger.

   The cracked pot always arrived only half the quantity of water . So it was for two years , every day , the bearer delivering only one and a half pots of water in the house of his boss .

   Of course , the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments . But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection , and miserable that feeling only be able to accomplish half of what it was designed to do.

    After some time , the cracked pot said to the man at the well :

- I am ashamed , I want to apologize to you .

- Why? - Asked the man - What are you embarrassed ?

- In those two years I was able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak good part of the way of the house of his master . Because of my flaws , even with all that work , you do not get full value for their efforts .

    The man just nodded . On the way to the house of his master , the man said to the pot :

- Have you noticed how there are flowers on your side of the path ? Noted that , day by day , as we returned from the well , it was you who 've watered them ? For two years I was able to scoop these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table . If you were not the way they are, he would not have so much beauty to grace his house .

Potential of people

One of the most important skills of a leader is the ability to perceive and develop the potential of people . We all have limitations in certain areas , in return are very good at several others.

We need to understand that there is no " learn more " or " less known " , which there are " different knowledge " .

In a team , knowledge is complete , and respect for the abilities and limitations of each is the key to good relationships .
