What Makes Teams WORK?

“Effective teamwork is all about making a good, well-balanced salad not whipping individuals into a single batch of V8.”

Sandra Richardson, OD Consultant

Teamwork is like cooking a great dish!! It must have the right ingredients in the right proportions, cooked at the right temperature for the appropriate length of time and combined with lots of passion and love.

Ingredients of Teamwork

Switching Roles

“Leaders in Masseria San Giovanni often change roles. There are different areas of the business

and different ‘single-leaders’ have to communicate and collaborate in order to be a really good team.”

Lucrezia Noviello

Switching Roles

“I do not like to be called ‘Director’. I do not like to set

roles, but solutions. I am used to waiting on tables, I serve dishes,

I confess future spouses!” Matteo Moramarco

Switching Roles“Marialuigia always takes care of the esthetics of the place. She is also in the kitchen coordinating

the work between back office and the front office, or helping

anywhere else the company needs.”

Lucrezia Noviello

Closing Thoughts“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Mark Twain
