What Can I Contribute?

When working with others, we all have a choice of how and what we will contribute to the group.

We all are different, and have unique mixes of skills, strengths, and experiences. The question is, how will we use what we have at our disposal for the greater good of the group?  What will we focus on? What will our contribution be?

Perhaps it’s in the tasks we perform, or the questions we ask, of the attitudes we maintain. Our contributions may take various forms, but when everyone on the team is contributing—and contributing out of their strengths—the team will be the better for it.

Whether it be at work, at home, or in other groups or organizations, we all have a choice of what we will deliver. Will we give our best, in our attitudes, actions, and focus? In the end, our answer to this question not only affects the effectiveness of our own efforts, but the effectiveness of the group as a whole.
