- Red Wing has an abundant amount of people, talent, and resources to get things done, and we need to rely on our own resources to put things in motion and make things happen.
- People want to think outside the box to find solutions.
- Collaboration is necessary.
- Success depends on our ability to focus together toward tangible outcomes.
