Love
Have you experienced love in your business environment?
That time when members of a team join together in a bond that far transcends the unity in battle that they face on a day to day business basis.
That time when partners come together and share a relationship that goes well beyond the trust that is required to achieve dramatic results in a joint business quest.
That time when client and servicing team share a common purpose, common mission, and common commitment to excellence beyond belief in the execution of that mission, and in so doing, the bruises and smiles that come from the battle create emotions and ties that last for life.
It’s definitely possible.
It’s certainly something I dream of and then cherish when I find it in my business life.
But it doesn’t happen naturally, and it’s rarely unconditionally.
It takes work.
It takes alignment.
It takes common purpose and enormous passion.
It takes a belief in your team and a tremendous respect for your customer or partner.
It takes a knowledge of each other that goes beyond the work place.
It takes a level of sacrifice that puts others before self.
It takes trials and tough times.
And it more often than not ends in great success.
Love in business certainly isn’t a bad thing.
It’s actually a very important thing.
And it can be critical in the toughest of business times.
