Get the task (Purpose of the Team) Done and
Completed
• A group of Ants will never leave what they’re carrying and just call it a
day. They persevere and make sure that they get the job done.
• Whether they work in shifts or they have some magical way of
transporting huge objects, that’s just minor details. The main point is they
get the job done in the end. Period!
• Can you imagine what your organization would be like if employees with
that kind of commitment? Can you imagine just how much your business
as a whole can accomplish if you all have the same mindset as the ants
have towards finishing their job?

more things we finish, the faster we can move on to other things that will
help you advance your business.
Ants(Teams) are Driven by Purpose
• By purpose I mean having a clear long term objective or goal which
shapes everything we do. For example, one ant’s sole job description is to
find food for the colony. This is his purpose, and all that he inputs this
time and energy into, and so it compounds his chances of success.
• Unless you are paid to respond to Facebook messages and Twitter updates
within the hour, then more important activities should precede your level
of engagement with social media. Unless of course, part of your goals
incorporate social media. Otherwise minimise your engagement with
activities that draw you away from your main focus.
