High-performing teams require more than just a leader. Great teams come from great teammates.  

Shane Battier won't be in the NBA Hall of Fame, but he was one of the greatest teammates to ever play professional basketball. He won back-to-back NBA Championships with the Miami Heat and was named the league's Teammate of the Year during their second championship run.  

His insights into trust, discomfort, and "teammateship" are essential for teams -- and teammates -- of all types.  

This is...A Bit of Optimism.
