The Backbone of Our Company
As with all planning decisions made by a group, the ‘Team’, as it is formed, and as in most professional objectives, must have a leader. The leader must be trusting, open-minded, and a very good listener. Input from the entire team is considered, evaluated and pieced together to arrive at the most practical and cost effective solutions to develop the final plan of attack.
Implementing a regular ‘Huddle’ with the Team, when there are many issues to consider, creates an atmosphere of being a Team Player and brings more interest and input from the others for the best outcome of a strategic plan.
