A few years ago, I was part of a team that worked like a well-oiled machine efficient, focused, and successful.
But something was missing. We weren’t friends. We collaborated, but we didn’t really connect as much.
Then, a new team member, Oliver, changed everything.
Oliver made it his mission to get to know everyone. He remembered birthdays, organized casual lunches, and brought humor into the workplace. At first, I thought,
That’s nice, but does it really matter?
Then, something happened. When a major client threatened to pull out, instead of stress tearing us apart, we pulled together.
We stayed late not because we had to, but because we wanted to support each other closely through it all. Morale soared. And that client? They stayed because we delivered.
In today’s reading, John Maxwell’s insight clicked for me: Teams that share friendships aren’t just more enjoyable to work with they’re stronger, more resilient, and more committed.
From then on, I started valuing relationships just as much as results. Because when people care about each other, they’ll absolutely go the extra mile not just for the job, but for the team and that’s a massive win.
