\u2018Cause baby there ain\u2019t no mountain high enough<\/em>
Ain\u2019t no valley low enough<\/em>

This evergreen classic composed by Martin Gaye & Tammi Terrella was given further immortality through the movie Remember the Titans. <\/em>Amidst external turmoil over issues of race and society, the newly integrated T.C Williams High School got its first African American football coach, Herman Boone (the ever-so sublime and brilliant Denzel Washington). The movie follows the real-life journey of this school\u2019s football team, as they overcome deep seated issues that have divided them for as long as anyone can remember. And while Boone\u2019s coaching methods are certainly debatable in terms of the line that they toy with, their effectiveness in making the team champions cannot be argued with. He brought together a diverse group of players and converted them into a well-oiled machine where each player was ready to lay down on the barrel for each other. Despite all the challenges that the city of Alexandria and their school faced, all of them emerged victorious at the end, in no little debt to the \u2018soul spirit\u2019 that the team imbibed within itself. Ronnie Bass, Gerry Bertier, Julius Campbell; contrasting personalities came together to lead the team to the championship.<\/p>\n\n

In the beginning of the movie, the two coaches, Herman Boone and Bill Yoast, meet to talk about not only how they\u2019re going to integrate the Black players with the White players, but also on how to ensure victory. Each coach has distinctly different methods and ideas, leading to a mutual dislike right from the beginning. The city\u2019s tension permeates into the team as well, with the black and white players coexisting in an atmosphere of mutual distrust. How did a champion team emerge out of all this? The teamwork and spirit that the coaches were able to build was exemplary and can teach us a thing or two about teamwork. Teamwork is important in any organisation where a group of people are working together towards a common goal. It inspires innovation, healthy competition, and each task is performed efficiently by those with skills specialising in the same. Working together leads to a mutual increase in skills and relevant knowledge, as well as increased innovation due to the presence of multiple perspectives provided by working in a group of people. Few more reasons why effective teamwork is absolutely indispensable in any healthy organisation.<\/p>\n\n \n
