Successful people collaborate with others to create
successful businesses. This is even more important in start-ups: working on
something new requires a lot of different perspectives to get things right.
There were lots of new and challenging things at all of Wynn’s projects and
getting the right professionals in the right jobs was a critical challenge. We made
sure that people were paired appropriately and encouraged inter and
intra-departmental collaboration. We knew that it would be easier to achieve
our goals if we put together cross-functional teams that had diverse ideas,
backgrounds, skills and styles. We never would have successfully launched the
Mirage’s volcano, baggage handling system, Siegfried and Roy show, dolphin
habitat, crowd-handling strategies and so many other innovations if we didn’t
collaborate. There are challenges – big and small – in every phase of every company
that can benefit from a collaborative work style. Be the best professional you
can be by including others in your quest for excellence today.
