Secret to Corporate Success

Secret to Corporate Success

Can success in business be credited to only one person in a corporation? Or does everybody in a corporation hold a place of importance to the corporate success?

As an example, let us examine a hospital set-up. Who is more important - a doctor? or a janitor? Majority would perhaps respond that it is the doctor. Granting for example that the doctor is the only employee of a hospital, who will take a follow-up care of his patients if there are no nurses?

Will a doctor be able to survive without the presence of an accountant to manage his business accounts? Or will he be able to survive without having a secretary to handle the consultation appointments of his patients? In the emergency room, will the doctor have time to clean the blood on the floor from his wounded patients? Or does he have the time to discard of the trash if there are no janitors? Or will he have the time to cook for his admitted patients if there are no kitchen personnel?

On the otherhand, what good is a hospital without a doctor? Or how will a nurse function if there are no doctors to provide consultations and treatment?

What good can hospital administrative decisions make without marketing promotions? What is the importance of a marketer if there is nothing to promote?

Let us try to leave the hospital set-up for a moment. In basketball, which position is more important? The center or the guard? Who holds more importance, the coach or the player?

Well, what do you think is my point? TEAMWORK.

Teamwork is the only secret formula to create success in a corporate business. Without teamwork, failure is a sure thing to come. It is therefore essential that all members of a company or a corporation should be given an equal importance and respect. And it is also important that every employee - from the officials down to the ranks - should contribute their best for the success of the team.

Factors that can destroy teamwork include favoritism, unfairness, lies and deception. This factors generate loss of trust, hatred, and loss of cooperation. If you learned that one of your teammate was given more privilege than you do especially that both of you contributed equally to the team, don't you think you will not react negatively?

To the business owners, think of your corporation or company like it is a living human body. Can you ignore the heart and just take care of your brain? Will you give more importance to your eyes than your hands? What good will your body be if you have a sickly lung? Do you think you will last long?

So, in the entertainment world, who is more important - the cast or the crew? In business, who is more important - the CEO or the stockholders?

Always remember - TEAMWORK counts a lot.
