If you watched the 2016 Oscars®, it was another night to celebrate the underdog.
That night, Hollywood’s biggest and brightest took to the stage to accept
their Bronze statuettes, a mark of the highest achievement anyone in the film industry
can receive.
But as I watched cast of ‘Spotlight’ receive their award, another thought
crossed my mind. As the director and producers of the film came onstage, they
were not alone. They were joined by an entire line of actors and team members who
shared warm hugs and tears of joy. They ‘buzzed’ with the excitement of what they
were able to accomplish—not alone, but together.
Prior to that, Alejandro Iñarritú had just received his Oscar® for Best
Director of the film ‘The Revenant’, second year in a row he has won such a prestigious
award.
For me the night had so many wonderful take-aways. But one which stands out
most is Team Work.
You don’t have to be an award winning director to apply Spotlight’s or have Alejandro
Iñarritú’s teamwork model to achieve ground-breaking business success today.
You see, the casts of 'Spotlight' and ‘Birdman’ seemed to realize something other teams may fail to realize:
No Oscar-winning movie would be complete without the best sound effects,
music scores, direction, make-up, actors, scriptwriters, or special effects. Every
detail has to be right to achieve the award-winning results we all want to see in
our business.
You see, the casts of 'Spotlight' and ‘Birdman’ seemed to realize something other teams may fail to realize:
If you
want to receive the highest honor in any industry,
you have to understand the Power
of the Team.
Alejandro Iñarritú understood the Power of the Team and used that knowledge to build an award-winning cast and film. He knew how to organize a team that is creative, innovative, and achieves award-winning results.
