🕯 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬 This #Veterans Day, we pause to honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of the brave men and women who have served our country. In recognition of this day, we invite you to read an interview with one of our own veterans, Edward Fortunato (EVP, Strategy & Business Development at Safran Defense & Space, Inc.). Here are his top three tips for effective teamwork: 🔹 Communication – "It is a wonderful thing once it occurs. Bring your ideas and creativity to the table." 🔹 Collaboration – "Be part of the team, make contributions, and take the organization to the next level." 🔹 Lead – "Lead by example in everything you do." Ed also shared a powerful story from his military service that highlights the importance of teamwork: “𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑎𝑡 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑜𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚, 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑝𝑖𝑒𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑚.
