From survivors to an amazing race team

Abstract

FROM SURVIVORS TO AN AMAZING RACE TEAM: HOW DID WE ACHIEVE THAT? Max DePree once said: “The key elements in the art of working together are how to deal with change, how to deal with conflict, and how to reach our potential...the needs of the team are best met when we meet the needs of individual persons.” The team of the Faculty Library for: Natural and Agricultural Science, Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology strive to contribute to the University of Pretoria’s mission, vision and strategic plans. We form part of teaching and research teams, market not only our services and new products, but also our skills and competencies. By building on everybody’s strengths and weaknesses into account we not only survive change, but keep up with new trends and technology and together we build a happy and satisfied team.
