Happy Labor Day everybody! In honor of the day created to celebrate the social and economic achievements of American workers, I figured instead of talking about marketing, I’d share links to a few articles that I’ve read recently. They mainly relate, in some way, shape or form, to building a strong team atmosphere within your company.
The quality of the internal workforce that you build as a business leader directly and indirectly reflects and projects to the quality level of the product or service offering that you provide to your constituents.
Like it or not, every move you make as a business leader affects your product, which affects your marketing strategy – as no marketing strategy can cover up a bad product. You can’t put perfume on a pig.
No pressure.
What does this have to do with building a strong team? Remember, your team builds your brand. Your team champions your product. Your team IS your service.
