Just like the old saying "it takes a village to raise a child," it takes a team for any business or organization to realize success. It helps to have star players but for an organization to succeed year after year, it requires a great team with great leadership.
I am a sports fan and a very frustrated one because all of the Cleveland sports teams are suffering right now from bad records and failure. At one time, our biggest rival in football was the Pittsburgh Steelers. We love to hate the Steelers in Cleveland.
However, if you take a look at the history and record of the Steelers, you will find an excellent example of what I am talking about. They have an excellent organization that takes great pride in success as a team. They manage and optimize every aspect of their organization and thus they have realized great success.
The same is true in business. It is the overall organization that must be great in order for any aspect of the business to experience year-over-year success. The top management must be totally behind every facet of the business, behind every employee, and aligned with the goals of every division.
Success requires a team, and that includes ownership, top management, middle management, and every single employee.
