At the risk of sounding trite, this famous Margaret Mead quote expresses why we get out of bed in the morning. We believe that high-performing teams working together toward a shared goal is the key to making great things happen. Figuring out how to make teams great is at the heart of what we do.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead, American Cultural Anthropologist
Life at August
