Hi blog!

Here's an excerpt from Stan Richards of the Richards Group, the company Marketing Matters will one day join as one of the top independent agencies in the US! :) It's about dynamics in the workplace and people's differences coming together to create something awesome.

“I’m of the opinion that people- like the ones who work for you, for example- generally like the idea of different types of people, different tribes, being thrown together for a common purpose. They like the idea of working with colleagues who are unlike themselves, working out the frictions, having a good laugh about it later, and getting some spectacular stuff accomplishes. Or they would like it they thought it were possible. Experience has taught most of us that the world doesn’t really permit that sort of thing. If there’s a peaceable kingdom at all, it’s out yonder.

There’s something inside people that’s wishing for a peaceable kingdom. At some level, we all understand that human enterprises are more colorful, potentially more successful, and in many ways a whole lot more fun when you get contrasting types and talents involved.”
