California's redwoods are the world's tallest trees. Some top 350 feet and are more than 2,000 years old. One might think that trees so large would have a tremendous root system reaching hundreds of feet into the earth. Not true.

The redwoods have a very shallow root system, but they intertwine. The trees support and protect each other. When storms come or winds blow, the redwoods stand together. There is strength in numbers.

To drive home the power of teamwork and sticking together, I sometimes do a visual exercise. I hold up a bundle of six pencils and try to break them in the air and then over my knee. The average person can't break the bundle. Then I take one pencil out and easily snap it in two. I point out that if you help each other, you will be like the bundle of pencils. No one can break you apart. But if you are divided, you can be broken as easily as a single pencil.

Unity consistently produces greater results than individual endeavors. Teamwork divides the effort and multiplies the effect.

In a county fair pulling contest, the first-place horse moved a sled weighing 4,500 pounds. The second-place finisher pulled 4,000 pounds. The owners of the two horses decided to see what they could pull together. They hitched them up and found that the team could move 12,000 pounds -- 3,500 pounds more than each alone.
