TWITTER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Does you workplace focus more on individual or team? @jtnelso: 'Our company' truly focuses on each. But more so the individual. @Stanleyyork: i think teams, b/c you build individuals through teamwork. rarely vice versa guest: our workplace is all about building certain individuals @mpaladino: Both, but would lean towards teams. Strong teams breed strong individuals. The converse of that is not always true. Rodney: Revenue is the correct answer. Rick: You develop people so that you have the building blocks to build a Team.  You can not sacrifice or prioritize one at the expense of the other. Jennifer: My husband would say teams…as a high school principal he wants his staff to feel like a part of something bigger than just one classroom teacher, but I totally see Finley's point about the church, too… Alex: teams Finley: individual for me…its one life at a time…that's how we build the church Scott: Teams David: You build individuals with a team mindset.
