Rule #1- Put the team FIRST
* "we-opic" vision vs. "me-opic" vision
* the teams needs and interests need to come first.
Sometimes I catch myself only thinking about me and I'm here to tell you, it is a bad mind set and won't help you or the team grow.
Rule #2- communicate openly and candidly
*Information is a source of GREAT power.
* With it, people can take ownership and act responsibly, without it people are captive.
On the officer team, communication is the key. Remember, knowledge is power.
Rule #3- Be apart of the solution, not the problem
* Get involved
*Speak up
*Share ideas
*Volunteer time
Get involved and share your ideas because what you have to say is just as important as what everyone else has to say. Don't be afraid to speak up and let yourself be heard. Don't be the "problem-maker", be the "problem-solver."
Rule #4- Respect Diversity
*Gain insight
*Identify options
* Create alternatives
*Are you connecting with your teammates?
On my FFA officer team, there is a lot of diversity but you can overcome it by listening to others, accepting others, and help others feel important. Use your differences to your advantage and remember, we're all humans..:)
Rule #5- Ask and encourage the right questions
*Profound questions generate profound understanding
*By asking the questions
-We identify needs and expectations
-We test ourselves
It's okay to not follow the status quo. It's okay to do things out of order and in your own way and by asking questions we are improve ourselves and our understanding of things.

If you take a close look at the most successful people in life, you'll find that their strength is not in having the right answers, but in asking the right questions.
