Forbes ranks “Teamwork and Collaboration” as one of the top ten traits of highly successful people.
One of the most important lessons I learned in conversation with the great real estate syndicator, Eric Chadderdon, is “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Looking back, this concept has been a determining factor for my success in the military. In every circumstance, putting the goals of the team above our own personal ambitions always pays more in the end, both for ourselves and for the group at large. It’s a win-win!
This piece of timeless wisdom rings true in every era, industry, and situation. In this highly technological and remote-working world that we are all navigating, it is easy to find ourselves becoming isolated from the teams we are apart of and the people that we work with.
It is our duty to continue to prioritize teamwork, collaboration and maintain positive relationships with our peers.
How has your view on the importance of teamwork changed throughout the years? Let me know!

3moI was a regional manager for Eddie when he was a young man and started with safety Clean, when I got back into the industry with Crystal Clean , I was lucky enough to have Eddie in my region again, dedicated, hard-working, loyal. It’s hard to find all of the appropriate, accolades, over my 40 year career he would definitely be in the top three of all-time branch managers.
