"We are all part of a chain. You must carry your load." - Bill Walsh, 4 times Super bowl winning coach
I am amazed at how easy it is for children to instantly join together as a team to accomplish some wildly imaginative goal. No egos, no jockeying for positions, no politics. They put 100% of their efforts into accomplishing the common team goal without any concern for their individual interests. In this case a few of the kids fell off the top of the mountain but they got right back up and helped the team again.
Interestingly, even at young ages the kids fall in line as leaders and followers. They realize that the team needs direction and control which can only be put into place by a leader.
At Signature Community we have a huge initiative over the next quarter to focus on ideas, innovation and implementation, Si3. We know from experience that if we come up with a lot of ideas at the corporate level and try to implement them in the field they will fail miserably. So what Si3 does is involve the entire company in the process, teamwork. Teams are being formed to work on key areas of improvement: resident services, accounting and financial, employee experience, Signature Training (star center), technology, and strategic initiatives. Over the next few months these teams will work together on the goal of making Signature Community the best place to live, work and invest!
In past years the research and implementation we have done during these months has not only produced great results for our company, but has also shined a spotlight on many of the star players in our organization. Just like on the playground where the kids work together to fill the roles needed for success, we have experienced the same type of effort in our teambuilding and watched employees excel in the organization through this initiative.
I look forward to hearing any of your ideas and thoughts as we proceed with Si3 over the next few months. Please send any ideas or comments to ideas@asignaturecommunity.com.
Thanks again for making great things happen at Signature Community.
Nick
