BBC Magazine is running an interesting article where the pose the question of whether or not David Beckham, who begins practicing with LA Galaxy today, can become a true teammate to his new team. This is an interesting question and I think that it spans beyond Beckham to the workplace in general. What happens when someone is brought in and is better off in multiple categories than the rest of the team. In Beck's case he's making 500% the salary of the average MLS player and he's counted among the worlds best soccer players, not to mention that he's a marketing juggernaut.
I've never been on either side of this type of a problem, but I can imagine the problems that could arise. In the case of Becks I think that he needs to make sure he works out with the team regularly and proves that he's just one member of the team. I think that he can do this - an will - because his greatness on the pitch is how he distributes the ball to the right people at the right time. He doesn't get a ton of goals, but he does get a ton of assists. Because of that, it seems like he is well placed to work out in LA. That also seems to be what any 'ringer' that is brought in needs to do - if they indeed want to be accepted by the rest of the team. We shall see if Beckham manages to do this or not.
And then there's the issue of his wife, and considering she'll be going on world tour soon that could be a whole new set of issues.
