Teamwork is the single biggest factor why organizations, and sports teams, win! Talent only takes you so far. Teamwork is where 1+1= 3 or more. The ARHD way from the beginning of time is when we win, we win together, and we when we lose, we lose together. Yes, there are individual accomplishments which need recognition, and management does the best to communicate to those who do great over and above.
Teamwork occurs within each of our groups: Sales, HD, Infrastructure, Finance, Marketing, Recruiting, etc. What is more important is how Sales and Service, Operations and Finance, Sales and Marketing, Management and HR, Management and Staff, etc work together. These cross sectional department teamwork areas are the differentiators between good and great. This is a clear differentiator we have as compared to our competition. We all make mistakes, sometimes they are minor, sometimes major. We fix the issue and understand what we need to do better next time as a team.
