Teamwork Anyone?
Okay. I couldn’t resist. I had to do another Celebrity Apprentice. There is so much to say (so little time). And I’m not naive — it’s all about TV ratings. But…
Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is unprofessional? And who is downright hateful? Should victory be sacrificed because of lack of teamwork? You have to decide.
I don’t know where to start. I’m not going to pick a side. But the issues between Piers and Omarosa were amazing to watch.
- Should we bring our families into our professional life? Or should others have that right?
- Should we highlight our own weaknesses by hitting others ’below the belt?’
- Should we make our differences so personal?
- Should our personal differences get in the way of getting the job done?
- Is it right that we get personal satisfaction from disputes and disagreements?
- Should we dismiss our colleagues — without listening to what they have to say?
I suggest that the answers to all these questions is a resounding “no.” Focus on the goal. Focus on winning. Put your personal differences aside to get the job done.
Trump was put into an impossible position — fire someone who won the challenge or fire someone from a well-running team. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but he made the right choice. Trace and his team deserve to stay in the game — even though the team will be broken up.
Next week should prove interesting. Will Piers survive? Will Omarosa? And let’s not forget the higher purpose — this is all about charity. Are we watching ‘charity’ on the screen?
