Yes well said, the team members need to keep the goal in mind. It's hard to do it when we are in it for the money, or it is incentivized by profit, or is a job to earn a living. In idealistic settings, the soldier fights for his country and its protection, a missionary works for spreading the word, an activist campaigns for an important cause to uplift humanity. That kind of zeal is watered down when the members are selfishly motivated by their paycheck. It's not wrong, just unfortunate.

In previous ages in the Vedic culture of India, brahmanas or teachers/priests were never paid a salary and lived purely off donations. By doing this they were showing their advanced level of consciousness - not dependent on monetary reward, not businessmen, but teachers in service. Of course the administrators or leaders, the kshatriyas, would care for their needs, but the teachers were never accumulators of wealth. Our current culture has lost this ethic completely due to being engineered by unscrupulous financially motivated elite. The merchants now run the world, while the politicians have been bought out and the teachers have been forgotten.
