What is the secret of creating a Dream Team for your company? What happened to the 1992 US men's Olympic basketball squad can be learned. The team was made up of some of basketball's best players, including Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. They also included Larry Bird, Scottie Pilpen, Patrick Ewing and Karl Malone. It seemed like they were destined to succeed without trying. In their first month of training, they lost to a team of college athletes. Scottie said, "We didn't understand how to play together," after the humiliating defeat.
They knew the sport well, but in order to win they needed to find the right balance between their individual and team performances. They then went on to dominate at the Olympics, scoring more than 100 points in every game, and winning the gold.
You may have the same issue with your teams. Team dynamics is a learned skill. You may have some good people but they don't know how to work together. Grow Team Snapshot is a quick assessment that will help you determine where your team needs to improve to achieve their next goal.

What are the major types of marketing?
Marketing is the act of communicating ideas, values, and messages to consumers. We often use the term marketing interchangeably with advertising. Marketing goes beyond advertising. Marketing encompasses all forms of communication used to promote and market a product/service.
Three key components of marketing are branding, promotion and distribution. The company's brand is how it identifies with its target audience. Promotion is the act of getting attention for your brand by using paid advertisements, free promotions, and public relations activities. Distribution is how you get your message across to your target audience. It can be done through traditional methods like television, radio, print, and email, but new technologies have made this more accessible than ever.
What is the difference in marketing and advertising?
Advertising is communication that promotes brands or products. Advertising is usually accompanied by a clear call for action, such “Buy Now!” or “Click here.”
On the other hand, marketing is a way of communicating your company's mission, vision, and values to potential customers. Marketing helps you build relationships with your current customers as well as prospects.
Marketing can be used, for instance, to tell the story about your company and what you offer. Talk about your values, philosophy, and dedication to quality. You might share customer testimonials. Or you might even create an event where you give away free pairs of shoes to encourage people to visit your website.
Marketing is simply telling stories. Advertising is about selling things.
