That's how we've succeeded in the face of so many powerful competitors. They simply aren't as agile and creative as us. I've always encouraged experimentation, and a small, repertory theater company-feel. I don't know how to act, but I know how to inspire a great performance. And that's a kick.
Teamwork is powerful and effective.
As a veteran of the New Left hippie movement, my reference goes back to the consciousness-raising and affinity groups of the late Sixties. Ever since, I've loved working with small, focused teams. From the start, with no middle management or process documentation, the production workers and I pooled our limited resources. Today, thank God, we can afford janitorial services and production management. But new, mostly interdepartmental, teams form and dissolve all the time.
