"Team" is the sine qua non of success
The very expression, "like a Swiss watch" evokes powerful (and almost universal) imagery of a mechanical device, driven with precision. Elegance. Carefully engineered. Put together with loving labor. With cogs and wheels engaging, each with its unique purpose. Every piece saying something. Just like members of a team working in unison. |
We believe that in all that you do, one should follow great leaders. When you find people like that, follow them, for they will inspire you. Or, better yet, become a leader like that, for others will want to follow you. It will inspire them.
The entire Shea Strategies, LLC team, from our corporate leadership to those that we employ, are all focused on the concept of team. We have all learned that teamwork is far more powerful than the serendipity of individual heroes. Doing what is best for the team, rather than the individual is key for us. When you have many people acting as one, you become selfless. Selfless leaders are great at building a winning team. They communicate that the team’s goals are more important than any of the individual’s goals. The leader shows he or she is willing to do whatever it takes to move the team forward. Selfless leaders utilize every possible resource to assemble the best group of people to execute on the short and long term vision and goals of the organization.
Our experts have also learned to be both mentor and protege. We have all benefitted from great mentors, who have collectively shaped our philosophical beliefs and our skills, both in what to do and what not to do. And we are a product of their advice, their style, their influence, and their critique. Through our careers, selfless leaders had to learn how to follow, before they could aspire to learn how to lead. Great teams have learned that taking on assignments that were necessary for the team, were infinitely more rewarding than those that only benefitted them as individuals. And highly functioning teams have been known to reach impossible goals.
