Re: The Stereotyping of Successful Teams

I think an important thing to highlight in this conversation is that many of the stories provided describe a progression of improvement over a couple of years. Al described this in some of his initial posts where he talked about 341's focus around 2009 and on. I'm sure teams like 341 set small goals (probably this time of year) that they can use to build on annually to get them to another level. No huge amount of change is going to happen over night or from one year to the next. Patience and commitment will pay off.
