“Teamwork is the 🔑to success.” "As far as I'm concerned Mercedes-Benz of Stockton makes owning a Mercedes a true pleasure. The kind of pleasure it's supposed to be. Whether I'm helping the Forty Niners in some way build five Super Bowl championships, or whether I'm developing a vineyard and a fine cabernet from the Napa Valley, or whether I'm helping my community, I try to do the very best that I can possibly do and make sure that we have success in the process." -Carmen Policy #mbofstockton #mercedes #mercedesbenz #safteycar #automobile #quality #reliableservice #performance #stockton #carmenpolicy #niners #team

How do you create the winningest team in NASCAR history?  👇 The President of Joe Gibbs Racing, Dave Alpern, talked with me about focusing on their True North: Go Faster. 🏁 Every organization should know their purpose and daily objective in one sentence. For Joe Gibbs Racing, the purpose is to Go Faster. Every decision they made for thirty years filtered through that one question: “Will this make us go faster?” Their philosophy is simple: If we lead the most laps and win the most races, everything else (sponsorships, marketing, recruiting talent) will take care of itself. For every purchasing decision they asked “Will this make us go faster?” For 15 years, Joe Gibbs Racing had no sign out front in their business park. 🏢 Spending 💲 on the expensive signage did not directly help their true north of going faster. It became a symbol and badge of honor for team members in the organization to keep all focus on making every decision and resource towards their true north.
