Inspirational quotes play a vital role in team building sessions. Team leaders use these quotes to reinforce the messages they are looking to pass through to their audiences. Among the common inspirational quotes are:

Lewis B.Ergen: "The ratio of We's to I's is the best indicator of the development of a team"

This quote could be very inspirational for people who do not like working with others as they get to realize that without their colleagues there cannot be much development.

Henry Ford: "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success."

When talking to fellow colleagues during a team building session, this quote will be an inspirational addition as it will reveal to those gathered that the work is not in their coming together but in their staying together and working together. This will therefore do everything they can to work as a team and to make sure it stays that way.

"We must all hang together, assuredly, we shall all hang separately."

No one wants to end up a looser and this quote clearly elaborates that if people fail to work together, they stand to loose much.

"The most important thing about education is appetite"

In most work places there are people that have given up on education and do not want to learn new things or add anything to their resumes. This quote will definitely inspire them to have a hunger for education, which will definitely help them in their career.

Mark Twain: "Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

Feelings of discouragement and demotivation within a team have many causes and one of them could be a workmate that always puts people down. This quote could inspire people within the team that feel inferior that they too could achieve much despite what their colleagues and peers think about them. This could in turn make them contribute more to the group, which ensures the team and hence the organization is more productive.

Andrew Carnegie: "Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team."

People who want to achieve extraordinary results in their careers and work place may be inspired to include other people in their vision because they will learn that for them to get to greater heights they must work with others.

Andrew Carnegie: "No man will make a great leader who wants to do it himself, or to get all the credit for doing it."

Within the team building sessions are also executives who are always doing everything on their own, regardless of having delegated the duties to their subordinates and eventually take the credit for it. This quote could inspire the executives to have more trust in their subordinates and to learn to share the credit with others as a team.
