SUBJECT:  [ NAMES OF TEAM MEMBERS] Receives Team Award

In unity, there is strength enough to construct a colossus.  From the foundation to the ridgepole, the parts reinforce and support one another to create a cathedral that will echo with the sounds of success.  [COMPANY NAME] prospers because of the synergism our employees individually and collectively provide in building solidarity.

Recently, we asked several within our organization to select the team that displays productive fellowship and a unified winning spirit.  The results clearly show that teamwork is pervasive throughout the ranks.  We had so much difficulty selecting the best partnership that we are contemplating bestowing more than one award in the future.

This year, I am pleased to announce that the winners of [COMPANY
NAME]'s team award are: [ NAMES OF TEAM MEMBERS].  Their coordination and diligence exemplify the principle that mastery of the whole
requires mastery of the parts.  Please join me in congratulating every
team member for this prestigious recognition of their collective contribution.

SAMPLE - INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM - AWARD, TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT

SUBJECT:  We're Looking for the Winning [COMPANY NAME]
Team

There are few professions in which competence alone leads to success.  A quarterback needs someone to receive the pass; a director needs an actor to follow his directions.  Life is full of  interdependent relationships in which cooperative efforts achieve the best results.

Teamwork is an overarching goal of [COMPANY NAME].  We believe that collective enthusiasm, motivation, and perseverance are the factors that separate success from failure.  Among our diverse personnel and responsibilities, there are teams that prove and promote this corporate goal.

Soon, you will receive a nomination form for this year's notable team award.  We want to know why your quarterback deserves the Theismann trophy.  How your defensive ends support strategic plays. And what your team has done to win the Super Bowl of [COMPANY NAME] team awards.

Look for this form in your mailbox, and be sure to complete it by the requested date.  As their coach, you will be in line for a commendation too.  A team is only as good as the coach who counsels, educates, and sponsors the players.

SUBJECT:  We're Looking for the Winner of [COMPANY NAME]'s
Motivation Award

Winners accept challenges with determination, perseverance, and stamina.  Take the example of the man whose life took the following turns before he reached his goal: he failed at a business, was defeated for the legislature, failed again in business, suffered the loss of a love, had a nervous breakdown, was defeated in an election, was defeated for Congress three times in five years, was defeated for the Senate, was defeated for the office of vice president, and was defeated for the Senate one last time.

Abraham Lincoln's struggle to overcome obstacles continued right up until the time he was elected President of the United States.  He serves as an excellent model for success.  Today, I announce a search for the best among us--the employees with the winning, often contagious, attitude to make themselves and [COMPANY NAME] better every day.  Winners receive [ LIST WHAT AWARD RECIPIENT RECEIVES].

We have so many excellent employees that management alone cannot choose the recipient of [COMPANY NAME]'s prestigious motivational award.  We need your help.  Therefore, you will soon receive a nomination form that you can use to vote for a peer who demonstrates presidential drive.  Thank you for your daily support, which allows our company to be the success we all want it to be.

"Passing the buck" was first described by Mark Twain in 1872. During early American card games, a piece of buckskin was passed from player to player indicating the one who was next in line to deal.  The phrase referred only to a shift in duty with no hidden meaning.

Today, passing the buck has a negative connotation that is incompatible with [COMPANY NAME]'s team spirit.  We want our players to help one another strive to meet individual and department goals. Whether through a seemingly small or easily recognizable effort, a day does not go by without someone in our company going the extra mile for everyone's benefit.

We thank those special employees for their inspiring actions every month through our Employee of the Month Award.  These people don't believe in passing the buck and regularly perform beyond all expectations in their job descriptions.  Their careers encompass more than the duties outlined on a piece of paper.

Soon, you will be receiving a nomination form that will help us select the recipient of [COMPANY NAME]'s Employee of the Month Award. Winners are given [ LIST WHAT AWARD RECIPIENT RECEIVES].  Think about how you could win and put those thoughts into action  not just today but every day.  Passing the buck is best left in card games and out of our professional careers.
