Some things never change! No matter the industry, the year, the overall business climate, we are only as good as our team allows us to be. We have all heard the age-old saying: “A team is only as good as its weakest link.” Well, let me tell you, those are words to live by.

How do we recruit and keep great talent, how do we motivate our people, how do we challenge them to grow personally and professionally?

It all starts and ends with the corporate culture you have created, if everyone is not on the same page, headed in the same direction, rowing at the same rhythm, sooner or later the “wheels will come off”.

It all starts with the little things, “God is in the details.”

Create corporate atmosphere, Make teamwork the focus

Too often we hear executives/managers say, “my employees” are the greatest, the “people that work for me” are the best, I personally cringe when I hear people being referred to as “employees,” needless to say “work for me” is equally as uninspiring in my view. While the terms may be technically correct by definition, they are not correct if you want to instill pride and loyalty in your people. I even go out of my way to correct a fellow worker when they say, “this is my boss” or “I work for so and so.” It just feels and sounds wrong to me. I do not want my people to distance themselves from the team mentality, I want them to embrace it.
