Progress has a steep price. Success has an even steeper price. Your team won't be willing to pay it if you aren't willing to pay it.

About This Quote

In the famous book "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni, this quote is used as a reason why teams should give up on a specific person. Lencioni's concern is that a team may become so focused on short-term results that it forgets about the long-term benefits of being a team. In other words, as a team grows and develops, the members' individual needs will change. They may no longer want to work together as much as they did at the beginning.

This could lead to problems in the long-term. For example, if someone else perhaps wants to take an important leadership role, but others resist and try to hold him back, they may destroy his chances at advancing and growing as a leader.
