The Kindness Flash #41
This month’s theme: UNITY – Binding People Together with a String of Humanity, Love and Respect.

Articles of the Month
Teamwork: The Power of Unity – Individually we might have a great talent or skill that makes us the top performer in our department at work, or in this story, the best in our country, but we can’t make it alone. Not only do we need the help of others, but the help needs to be a unified effort.
Two Main Ingredients that Create Team Unity – Whatever circumstances your group is currently experiencing, you can create the team unity and culture of cohesive commitment that you desire. Even the most impressive teams need time together to strengthen relationships and to be reminded of the goals and values that brought them together.
Teamwork means unity (or, boats don’t get anywhere if you’re paddling in 12 different directions) – Being a successful team means working together. Unity may come before or during the problem solving process, but for a group to become a team, that unity has to happen.

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”
J.K. Rowling

Act of Kindness
Community service is an amazing experience that allows us to leave our mark on the world. Organize a community service campaign and get everyone involved. Whether it’s a trip to a local senior home, orphanage, hospital or soup kitchen. The ideas are endless.
