Nobody does it alone. Nobody.
Newly launching SterlingHawkins.com I experienced this first hand. It wasn’t just about goals, although we had lots of them. It wasn’t just about willpower, although we had plenty of that too. What propelled us forward, what propels all of us forward, is having and working with a rich tapestry of people to support, collaborate and share.
It might sound obvious. But I notice inmany of the teams I work with, there’s an over indexing on individual high performance. Elevating each individual to the next level. While our individual performance is necessary, that approach overlooks a critical aspect of long-term success. Lasting achievement stems from sustaining a collective of people working together. It’s not just about being high performing people. It’s about being a high performing team.
You know that I’m all about realizing our potential. And it’s easy to get caught up in it. But we have to remember to prioritize people before progress to ensure steps we take yield the greatest potential of the whole – not just the greatest potential of a single (or a few) individuals. This is what yields high performing cultures.
The new brand launch wasn’t a solo endeavor by any means. It really was this incredible group of different people and companies that came together bringing unique skill sets, talents, ideas and perspectives around a vision. I’ve listed them below and have endless gratitude for their part in our work. Together, I’m really proud of what we’ve created. It wasn’t a solo journey. It was a collaborative effort.
As important as sustaining results are. Sustaining a collective of people around us to support is even more important. Again, nobody does it alone. People come before progress.
