Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gina Gardiner
Successful organizations ensure that their staff operate as a co-hesive team. Any organization is as good as the people they put together.
Each person brings with them a unique set of skills, knowledge, intelligences, attitude and "baggage". Build the team so that they work together as an effective unit and the resource grows potentially to provide not only the combined skills and experience of those involved but that 'magic' extra that such a positive interaction can create. A cohesive team facilitates the pooling of skills and experience, keeps ideas buzzing, enables people to find creative solutions to any problems they face and keeps their company at the cutting edge.
”Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” - Henry Ford
”Big thinking precedes great achievement.” -- Wilferd Peterson "Teamwork is the abilty to work together towards a common vision. The abilty to direct individual accomlishments is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. - Andrew Carnegie "Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly, and they will show themselves to be great." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "Strength lies in diffesences, not in similarities" - Stephen Covey
”Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” - unknown
