In business terms, this famous Italian proverb translates to the fact that there is no room for arrogance or ego irrespective of one’s position. If run on a strong foundation of core values, any contractor can develop strong leaders and winning teams.

Another good one Dennis and spot on!
Danny Tezak says:
I couldn’t agree more Dennis. I have seen time and again the successful individuals are the ones with very little ego and no sense of arrogance. They just lead people by bringing out their best traits and I am a true believer that “like-minded” people want to collaborate with people who share their values and beliefs.The power of a team which is properly aligned is pretty amazing and typically the results speak for themselves.

Thanks, Danny and well said! Cooperation and teamwork is getting even more important with our limited resources on the jobs.
