Every workgroup, team, unit or assembly, consists of different individuals with diverse skills and talents. We, at different points in life, will always fall into groups, departments, work with a team or run a business with partners. I thought about this and figured what always makes any team successful must be the notion of, one for all, all for one.
It is often said that a chain is as strong as the weakest link. It's a metaphor used to compare a group of something/people to a chain and the impact of a single member.
The overall strength of a chain is not the strength of the strongest link, or even of the average link. The overall strength of a chain is the strength of the weakest link. This in turn means that whosoever is perceived weak must not be left weak by others. It is only when all the links in a chain are strong that it remains unbroken.
You know David didn't win those battles alone, he also had some gallant warriors. Josheb-Basshebeth, described as being the leader and is said to have killed π΄π¬π¬ men (according to 2Sam.23 & 300 according to 1Chr.11) in a single encounter.
Eleazar is described to have stood his ground against the Philistines at Pas Dammim when the rest of the Hebrews ran away, yet he singlehandedly defeated the enemies. A similar story for Shammah. These great men with daring exploits were those David surrounded himself with, making him a formidable force and an army that sent shivers down the enemies' spine.
Mr. Ibrahim Olatunji Bada will always challenge me to be strong. "You have to be a strong man" he will say, to help your team stay strong or at least, not be the reason it fails.
How often do you develop yourself so well you won't be the weak link of the unit?
I challenge you also today,
