If you want to go fast, go alone
If you want to go far, go together.
– African proverb –
At work I manage a team responsible for global alliances and partners for our business unit. A while ago we had a discussion centered on the following.
Redwood trees can grow over 350 ft. tall, have a diameter of 20 plus ft., have a life span in excess of 2,000 years; yet they have no taproot, their average root diameter is about an inch, and their root system spreads out about 50 to 80 feet at a maximum depth of 6 to 12 feet. How is it possible that they grow so high and live so long? Are there any correlations to work and life?
Here are some of the comments made by members of the group:
