I am a huge fan of music.  All forms and types of music appeal to me with very few exceptions.  I especially enjoy live music so I attend quite a few live shows throughout the year.  Last week I had the pleasure of seeing John Mayer.  Whether you like his music or not, you cannot deny that he is an incredibly talented guitar player.  It was inspiring to witness an individual who clearly has a passion for what he does.   As I was marveling Mayer’s guitar skills I quickly glanced over to my right where the soundboard was located.  There were two normal looking guys with baseball caps manning the various buttons.  As brilliant as I think John Mayer’s guitar playing is I realized it wouldn’t sound nearly as good as it does without those two.   In addition to the soundboard there were the other musicians in his band adding to the vibe.  They were a team all working together to provide an exceptional musical experience for their audience.  Can you imagine if during the encore the drummer glanced at his watch and decided to just stop drumming because the 2 hour set went over 15 minutes?  The experience would be ruined and the fans would walk away disappointed or at the very least puzzled as to why the drummer would suddenly walk off the stage.  Lucky for all of us in attendance each member of his team takes pride in his or her individual roles.  

Teamwork is important regardless of the organization. And although “team” does mean a group of people working toward the same goal it is important to stress that every individual’s role is crucial and important.  If one person decides to leave because the encore has gone too long the team suffers and so does the product. 

At some point I should make this blog relevant to Compass Marketing…so here is my point:  Compass Marketing is a team of strong, dedicated members who take pride in the work they do and are committed to playing until the house lights come up.
