winning together....

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited, imagination encircles the world." - Albert Einstein

Good morning! 

Team, take a moment and reflect on Einstein's quote. I would take this a step further. Imagination with two or more people is unstoppable. As you approach your day today and start to tackle your challenges, where you can apply another mind, reach out to each other. The wonderful thing about winning is winning together....jointly tackling problems and knocking down challenge after challenge....together! One area that we at Potrero should always embrace and welcome is collaborative problem solving. Two or more minds focused on the solution and creatively approaching the problem are powerful. When I reflect on the times that we have overcome company ending events, it was due to multiple people focused together in an open and collaborative environment to solve the problem at hand. 

For those that are new to Potrero, today reach out to someone and present the challenge at hand. For those receiving the call, email, or zoom, provide 100% of your focus and imagination to solve the problem. One of the greatest things about being on a team is winning together and we win together when we break through invisible boundaries, push the envelope, and overcome all hurdles and obstacles. This is what we discussed last week at the team meeting, the special nature of feeling alive and challenged, releases our best possible selves to the world, and when we do that together as a team we are unstoppable.  

Have a wonderful week!!!

ALWAYS FORWARD!!!!

Joe

Like Leadville, winning together is always sweeter! (Plus, I’d have quit without you in 2016 and you’d never have learned to love caramel and snickers in 2014 without me! Ha!)

We need to work on our culture so we realize winning together is far better than beating others.
