Alan says…
Some of the most intense work I’ve done at Kemin has been with teams. Trust needs to be built carefully and deliberately, and relationships need to be tended in order to keep that trust intact. Understanding each others work styles is a good start, because personal trust can fade if we let each other down in the lab, the conference room, or on the floor. We can’t just do “team building” – we need to build the skills that help us get work done together.
