right and for you when you get a chance we like it there stir up your cryotank how good can it team be seriously how powerful is teamwork great teamwork I mean really ask that question who defines the limit and what if we were to push that edge stop to think about this room and realize that every team that accomplished the untouchable every team that got out there every team that had done would have never been done before they all had to break through they ought to understand that there was this edge and then they had
to challenge the edge and then they had to break through that invisible line they all had to do it through that group of incredibly talented people bumping up against each other having arguments having fights sometimes making some noise and working together they polish each other and they polish the ideas and what comes out are these really beautiful stones there's no other way to get through other than challenging your fears because in order for teamwork to be at its highest potential everyone's got to have something on the line you have to otherwise you're only partway in
at the end of the day you're going to need to trust those around you to fully trust this is about us and you can count on me I think about New Zealand this country with under five million people and they've the best rugby team in the world the All Blacks consistently the best in the world [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] or the Apollo mission a group people saying we hear you we've gotten and all of our talents are on the line to get you home that's teamwork think about the Beatles all of that music that we
know of there's all of it was made in about eight years just eight years they were that incredible as a team great teams I mean they're not about individuals melting into the team that's the mistake people hear about the power of teamwork and they think they think it's about losing yourself to the singular goal they think it's about fully giving in to something bigger than you you don't lose yourself great teammates they don't lose themselves they stand up they say I'm here they choose to be in and they choose to play their unique part that's
how it works so then what's the breakthrough what did those teams do to unlock the full power of teamwork you know that's the hard part you can't see the edge you actually don't know where it is until you cross over and look back and see where it was that's why it's always easier I mean it's always easier to catch up than it is to raise the bar because the team the team that broke through they marked the line and now everyone else they just need to get over that mark the Patriots Belichick Brady I mean
what they've been doing it's so unbelievable because they keep raising the bar they keep nudging it higher so even if people catch up it's too late you know Steve Jobs and Apple for the first time ever I'd like to let Macintosh speak for itself they were operating in this abyss I mean they were out there in this vast unknown so instead of breaking through instead of seeing the line you have to forget the line it's just another limit the marker and great teams is never external because because you're out in this unknown you're out in
this unmapped territory so instead the power of teamwork comes from a belief it comes from a mindset we can't get satisfied by the breakthroughs we can celebrate them we should celebrate them but we can't be satisfied by the limits that's what humbles me the most about great teams that's what humbles me the most about the power of teamwork because it's almost like you've got to operate in the darkness knowing you're lighting the path for everyone else and still heading out they're still pushing that edge that's how to unlock the power [Applause] [Music] there is the
presentation to Wayne Gretzky the young Edmondson captain [Music] [Music]
