Introduction: Success in any organization takes talent, teamwork, and intelligence! That’s what we preach-- and practice! We wholeheartedly embrace our mission as "success developers." Our whole firm is built around the single and simple principle of building the best team to succeed in the long run. We do that inside of businesses, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions. Through our experience, we’ve learned that there are four essential pillars in building successful teams. Pillar #1: A Great Foundation. A Great Foundation is a solid organizational footing that includes a forward-looking vision, a mission that inspires people, good core values that guide you and your people, and sound organizational and management structures. Pillar #2: Great People. Great People are not “discovered” by some magic, but great people are developed, cultivated, stretched, and built-up! Pillar #3: Great Processes. Great Processes are constantly improving ways of being effective and efficient in accomplishing the work of the organization. How we get the work done is as important as the work itself. Pillar #4: Great Products and Services. Great Products and Services are in the designs, the developmental processes, the production lines, the marketing strategies, the sales tactics, and in the customer service experiences. Just like in a building, all four pillars must be present. Absent one of those pillars; your team falls apart. The four pillars together build successful teams and successful organizations.
