Is it really that easy?

There is an interesting quote about building a team at the end of Patrick Lencioni's book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. He writes, "As much information as is contained here, the reality remains that teamwork ultimately comes down to practicing a small set of principles over a long period of time. Success is not a matter of mastering subtle, sophisticated theory, but rather of embracing common sense with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence."

How much of life or ministry is like teamwork--practicing a small set of principles over a long period of time? Embracing common sense with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence?
