Pulling together

The sign of a great team is one that will not hesitate to cover each others' backs

Considering you spend the majority of your adult life working with people with whom you have been thrown together by circumstance, many underestimate how important it is to actually get on with those people and trust each other.

Of course given the choice, most people would love to win the lottery and spend the rest of their lives sunning it up in first-class luxury on an island somewhere - but considering that is an absolute pipe dream - it is important to make the best of what you do have.

Now I am set to celebrate 15 years - Yep - 15 YEARS with CRN in August - and the one thing that has been pretty consistent over the years is a top set of people who will help each other out at the drop of a hat.

Quite often companies will pay lip service to the oft-used adage that 'People are a company's best investment' - but those that don't really believe it, actually don't deserve good people working there in the first place.

We are facing a challenging couple of weeks with very short deadlines, loads going on and a lot of pressure; and I don't often use this blog to mention my workmates; but they never cease to impress me with their willingness to take on more work, hit difficult deadlines, and quite often, achieve the impossible.

Team CRN/Channelnomics, I am very proud to work with you all and thank you all for being just brilliant!
