When anyone talks about the “team” or “working as a team” - what picture do you get in your head?
A bunch of men and women gathered around a communal table dealing with a project, men or women in sports gear challenging each other to score a basket, a goal a run.
All well and good and what you would expect but a vision that is changing rapidly in certain aspects.
The football (soccer) season has started in Europe, and many other parts of the world. Hence team work is back on display on the field of play, bringing to mind the problems that can come about as a team tries to gel, to work together for success.
There are usually some surprising results in the first few weeks, as many of the “better” teams fall to defeat when expected to excel.
Although this can add excitement generally everyone realises that the better teams will come out on top over the season. Why do these “better” teams succeed? Th answer consistency.

THE World Cup has started in South Africa and Enigin’s Marketing Director Troy Wrigley emailed the Enigin team inviting all to compete in a Fantasy League - you know what I mean, a Fantasy Sport Competition where you choose your players and they get points for various things they do through the season or competition.
I mention this on the Sunday afternoon while a World Cup match is being played because I currently lead the table with my wise and astute choices! That will soon change but we are doing it for a bit of fun. Choosing a team name and the players made me think about Enigin Partners and their venturing into an energy saving business.
With Fantasy Leagues it is all fantasy, there is skill in picking the right players and then changing them atr the right time depending on who is on form etc. and like all such sport games it is easier than the reality.
I never have my nose out of a book – I am the original ‘bookworm’ – in fact, I have been told that my picture is next to this word in the dictionary!
