The secret of successful teamwork

“Working together always works. It always works.

Everybody has to be on the team.

They have to be interdependent with one another.”

— Alan Mulally, former CEO of Ford

Drawing on General McChrystal’s book, Team of Teams…

To turn Ford around, Mulally broke down silos.

Silos that were efficient…

But not effective.

They slowed idea flow.

And stifled collaboration.

Instead, he fostered a “we are one” mindset.

Whether you are leading a sales team of 10…

Or a $10B enterprise…

The best way to leverage everyone’s effort…

Is ensuring everyone is rowing in the same direction.
