Jeremy Lin, the starting point guard for the New York Knicks, has become an overnight basketball sensation. At 6’3, he went undrafted after graduating from Harvard University in 2010. He was cut by two NBA teams and later on, found his way to the bench of the New York Knicks.

In the National Basketball Association (NBA), when anyone on a team is playing for himself rather than the team as a whole, failure is eminent. In business, when anyone in the company has an “I” mentality, it’s only a matter of time until failure creeps into the organization.
In my experience as an entrepreneur and motivational speaker, I’ve learned that success is not about discipline— it’s about teamwork. Without teamwork, people don’t cooperate, collaborate or innovate. A group of people working together is not necessarily a team. Groups are committed to an ideal, goal or person; teams are committed to each other.
