Dedication

I want to dedicate this book to the three most important women in my life, my daughters Mónica and África, and my wife, Cristina.

Thanks to Mónica the Teaming project has been born, and once again I’ve become the person I used to be.

Thanks to Cristina, each day I feel greater balance in my life and a positive energy that is impossible to describe.

Thanks to África, I have the hope of a better future. We are moving towards something wonderful.

Acknowledgments

In the first place, I want to thank the more than 200,000 people who are involved in Teaming today. Together, contributing 1€ per person a month, we are showing that we hold a lot more to give in our hands than we can imagine. We only need to be connected and united.

I also wish to thank the corporations and the people in the past few years who have helped to make Teaming great, through their support, their networking ability, and their human and economic resources. Many thanks to Huete-Samhoud, Grupo Intercom, Everis, Banca Cívica, Banc Sabadell, Frank Rijkaard, and Shakira.
