    The Positive Power of Competition
    I left my mobile telephone in a taxi and went sheepishly to buy a replacement.

    Simmer Slowly

    Keep your team together. Too often, just when a team has really come together, someone moves on. Companies often promote "fast-track" employees every 18 months. This is a disservice to the employee and the company. They never stay around long enough to see the impact of their decisions and the team has to start over with a new player.

    Set realistic expectations. Encourage people to sign up for 3 year assignments. Then make it worth their while. Reward them for staying with increases similar to what they would receive if they switched assignments.

    Teams that stay together have greater commitments to each other and team goals. Remember that great recipes are not cooked in a microwave; they are slow,
