Ever wonder what makes a team truly successful? In this interview excerpt, a leader of the Mitchell team dives into the key ingredients that fuel their achievements. Let’s take a look at some takeaways on what makes their team stand out from the rest.

1. High-energy environment. Each member acts as a “wind beneath each other’s sails,” fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. They strive to have a high-energy atmosphere where each member can thrive and push each other to do better.

2. Dynamic leadership and collaboration. Team Mitchell believes that while having a strong leader is vital, it is not a one-man show. Each member thrives on collaboration and mutual support, relying on each other for guidance and expertise, ensuring continued growth and avoiding stagnation.

3. Relationship building with clients. For the team, success goes beyond closing deals. It is important to build relationships with clients and potential clients. Encouraging team members to explore new environments and connect with new people fosters a broader network and long-term success.  

4. Developing a routine. The team believes in the value of in-office presence. Two days a week are dedicated to collaborating in the office and fostering communication that contributes to building bonds.

5. Work-life balance. While dedicating weekdays to focused work, family time is prioritized on weekends to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This approach ensures sustainable productivity and prevents burnout.
