Teamwork can be illustrated by thinking of the combined strength of draft horses.

A single draft horse can pull a load up to 8,000 pounds. So we would expect that two draft horses linked together should be able to pull 16,000 pounds.

But here’s the surprise!

Two draft horses pulling together can pull three times as much - 24,000 pounds!

But there’s more - If the two horses have trained with one another and have worked together before they can actually pull 32,000 pounds – double what 2 individual horses can pull.

That’s the value of teamwork!
