Coaches - Team concept.
Wrestlers - Individual concept.
Weren't the coaches former wrestlers? Is this team concept something that just automatically comes with age or with the job?
It comes with the job - the concept changes. Your responsibilities are now different.
RE: You are part of a sales team of 10 and paid by commission - you earn your own pay. You and one other are excellent salesmen while 2 others are average at best, and the other 6 hardly sell anything. It doesnt change how you work or prepare individually, you continue to strive to be the best you can be.
Suddenly you are promoted to Sales manager and are on salary. All at once the performance of the others as a "Team" of salesman becomes extremely important and your job depends on it. Your performance review is based on your groups TOTAL sales, and having one champion salesman left in the team isnt going to impress your superiors. You do everything you can to get everyone on your team above average and you are successful, AND your job is secure. Yes, you change positions and your concept will change as well.
