This comes very natural for Swedish people, it’s part of of DNA to be part of a group/team and to put the goals of the team first. The team players needs to be humble to the greater course of the team. Humble – For the team to be truly successful each individual needs to put the goals of the team first, before any individual and more ”egoistic” goals.By formulating the dream, the others in the team bought into it, and made it happen! John Sonmez has a great saying for this: ”Act as if, them become!”. He thought it was possible, he even said it in media. – Dreaming – Months before the UEFA U21 tournament started no one thought it was possible for Sweden to win! All except one person, John Guidetti, one of the key players in the Swedish team. Barely holding up status quo is not an option anymore, your competitors will destroy you! Without learning there is no moving forward. – Dare to fail – Without trying out new things and thereby risking failure, no learning takes place. Utilizing all brains in the groups is better then just using one! The climate in the team must be that everyone has the possibility to discuss and influence important decisions before they are taken. Without questioning not all brains are used to make the best decisions possible. – Questioning – If only one or a few voices are to be heard in a team there is no questioning. This may sound a bit fuzzy, so let’s break it down a bit: This means that there is a climate in the group that allows different opinions to be expressed without fear of them being turned against you. ”Högt i tak” – A Swedish phrase that roughly translates to ”height up to the ceiling”.
Trust is the fundamental base for a team. Without trust you don’t have a team, what you have then is individuals grouped together. Trust – A team can’t function if the individuals don’t trust each other.”The whole of the ant colony is greater than the sum of the ants.” – Andrew Stellman & Jennifer Greene, taken from the book ”Learning Agile” Factors for team spirit and thereby successīack to my question about team spirit, here are the answers I received: A strong force that is created when a team comes together as one.
Not having the best players on the individual level, there most be something else that made this possible. They had teams packed will already well established players with ”star status” in their respective clubs. During the tournament Sweden competed against more respected ”soccer countries” like England, Italy and Portugal. Large parts of Sweden are covered with snow during parts of the year, not making ideal conditions for practicing and playing soccer. How could that happen? Sweden is a small country with only nine million inhabitants. My main question to them was: How do you get good team spirit?Įarlier this summer Sweden won the European championships in soccer for players under 21 years ( UEFA U21).
#SMELLS LIKE TEAMSPIRIT PROFESSIONAL#
They are both into team sports one is a youth soccer coach and the other is a professional ice hockey player. It remains extremely popular and well-known even by people who don’t know any other Nirvana songs.During my vacation I had a great talk with two of my wife’s relatives. Rolling Stone would later vote it the 9th best song of all time. The song’s nihilistic vibe (“Here we are now, entertain us / I feel stupid and contagious”) appealed to many in a youth culture perceived as apathetic and cynical by outsiders. It served as an anthem for many of Generation X, who, like Cobain, found themselves confused and uncertain about the world around them. With its distinctive, distorted guitar riff, Smells Like Teen Spirit became Nirvana’s most popular song. The popularity of the song, the album, and the band is sometimes considered the catalyst for bringing alternative rock, and especially the 1990s grunge genre, to the mainstream. Although it wasn’t expected to be particularly successful, the album Nevermind became triple platinum by February of 1992, with Smells Like Teen Spirit being a major contributor to its success. The composition Cobain and the rest of Nirvana created using the title was, according to Cobain himself, an attempt at “the ultimate pop song” and was influenced by The Pixies. Cobain, who didn’t know what Teen Spirit was, was said to have interpreted it as a revolutionary catchphrase and named a song after it. She wrote “Kurt smells like Teen Spirit” in reference to a deodorant brand that Cobain’s girlfriend at the time wore. Supposedly, the name came from graffiti Kathleen Hanna of the band Bikini Kill once wrote on the wall of lead singer Kurt Cobain’s hotel room. Smells Like Teen Spirit was a single from Nevermind, the 1991 album that catapulted Nirvana to fame.
