The Aggressive Head of Sales: “This is BS, I’m not sitting through another feel-good team-building meeting where we’re mapping our company and trying to figure out where we all can improve. If people would just do their jobs and hit their targets!”

The Sage CEO: “Sure, the guy we’re bringing in to facilitate will help us see the big picture. But the real goal is to help people see where they fit into the company and how their contributions can make a difference. It’s about hitting their targets but doing it in a way where everyone benefits… you, the employees, our clients, the community.”

The Aggressive Head of Sales: “I think I’m going to sit this one out.”

The Sage CEO: “That’s your choice, but we’re all moving forward together. I’ll tell you what I told the new employees last week at their onboarding… the decision to be here is yours. If it’s not working for you, understand that it’s nothing personal, but you may need to find a place that aligns with your values. It’s not all about the numbers.”
