We have a saying at Richard Group - Grit + Gratitude = Greatness!! Being “GREAT” is what we strive to be and “GREAT” in our world stands for “Gratitude”, “Resilience”, “Excellence”, “Adventure”, and “Transparency”. This one pic of the MN VA team shows all of this and it makes me proud, but it might be hard to see, so let me explain. One of our team members is leaving our team so we had a going away celebration at Top Golf to say thank you for all her hard work (Gratitude). Unfortunately, the team forgot our famous Richard Group Scroll, so they took a picture, pretending to hold the sign up and later photoshopped the sign into the picture. (Demonstrating Resilience and excellence by refusing to not somehow document this event with the scroll and using technology to add the scroll and transparency because I am confessing to everyone about forgetting the scroll in the first place!). Finally, this team enjoys working, but also enjoys life outside of work. They share their ups, downs, goals, successes, failures, hopes and dreams with one another, while enjoying this crazy ride we call life (sharing your life with others is the best adventure of all). If you are part of a work team, find a way to enjoy your team! If you are in construction like us, don’t just build your project, build up your people and build your relationships. The relationships you build will last a lifetime, the project you build will only last to the CCD. #richardgroupway #greatpeople #greatcompany

Do the right thing. Go for greatness. Put people first. Win together. I've interviewed and worked at companies where Core Values were just words on a website. Not something you stand on when things get hard. In the last 3 years, I've been in many meetings where the answer was "Do the right thing." I've participated on teams where we went just a step further to "Go for greatness." I've witnessed moments were multiple groups align to "Win together." Last week I got to witness those Core Values demonstrated outside of the office. CarMax and KABOOM! partner to bring play to communities that need it. Seeing the sea of blue CarMax shirts hustling to bring an entirely new playground to life was an enormous display of values in action. It didn't matter who you were, what level your job was, everyone was sweating and working together. Do the right thing. Put people first. Win together. Go for greatness. When you find a place that truly lives their Core Values, cherish it. 🥰 #culture #values

Come join me for the highs and lows of going after a big audacious goal... This weekend was another big ‘stepping stone’ towards my 2024 goal: A Podium at the Chester 100 Mile Ultra Race. 😬 I thought I’d share some insights from a day at the grindstone – good, bad, and very ugly! Special thanks to my eldest daughter for the video edit.  I certainly didn’t have the energy… or talent! 😎 Three big takeaways: ⏩ ‘Run your own race’ – Patience and discipline paid dividends.  Avoiding the temptation of pushing the pace early allowed for a strong finish.  Catching 2nd place at the 22 mile point was a huge boost for morale.  ⏩ The 'Messy Middle’ – Every big event or project has a 'messy middle'.  Progress feels impossible and the end is still out of sight.  Focusing on (and celebrating) little wins was a great strategy for regaining momentum.   ⏩ ‘The Power of Purpose’ – Leveraging your ‘Why’ can be a super power when the going gets tough.  The thought that my efforts might inspire just one person was an enormous source of strength. It’s 7 weeks to my day of reckoning. 😬 Win or Learn, I’m excited for the journey ahead. Whatever you’re up to this week – keep being awesome! Phil P.S. If you, your team, or your organisation have big goals for 2024 – let me know how I can help. #HighPerformanceJourney

This week, I’ve been discussing the importance of maximizing championship moments. 🏆 These are the times when you’re in the zone as a business professional, achieving peak performance. 👊🏽 These moments aren't just about individual success; they represent your teams collective achievements. They are opportunities to celebrate and acknowledge the hard work and sacrifices everyone made. You deserve this recognition because your success is your team success. 👫🏽🧑🤝🧑👭 Success is not just a personal triumph; it creates a positive atmosphere in our workplace. Your success inspires others, demonstrating what’s possible and encouraging them to reach for their own championship moments. 🎯 So, let’s keep the momentum of success going!

The key to a successful team lies in stamina—something often overlooked. Many teams exhaust themselves at the end of the year, striving for a robust holiday season and Q4, only to lack the stamina needed to kick off Q1 with the required momentum. How do you ensure your team is mentally prepared for the challenges of a new year? 🚀 #TeamSuccess #StaminaMatters #Q1Preparation

"Tell them what to do and they will do it. Tell them what to do and why and they will surprise you." - Henry Ford When you have a task that involves your team, always discuss what they will do and why are they doing and most important, How they can measure the effectiveness of their effort with respect to the results. Your Team is your strength, always remember 💪 #maintenancemanagement #teammanagement #teambuilding
