About this quote

This quote highlights the power of selfless teamwork and humility. When people focus entirely on achieving a shared goal rather than seeking personal praise, they remove political friction and vanity from their work. Remarkable progress becomes possible when ego is set aside, as quiet cooperation usually produces far greater results than a competitive search for individual recognition.

Widely popularised by Harry S. Truman during his presidency, the sentiment appears in various forms throughout the twentieth century. Truman famously kept a plaque on his desk in the Oval Office reflecting this cooperative philosophy.

People often hang this print in a home office or workplace to foster selfless collaboration and humility.
