Laura Gordon: Teamwork on a global scale is very exciting IT is so important to have a diverse talent pool when running a business. A workforce should feature different skills, abilities and areas of expertise – as well as people who think differently and approach tasks in their own unique ways. You can get amazing results by building a team of people who can constructively challenge one another’s perspectives and work collaboratively. And if you can extend this approach beyond your own business and harness the collective power of your network, you’re truly on to a winner, because this can enable you to innovate in ways you never thought possible.
