- 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the office,
- not an employee was stirring, not even the bosses.
- The last orders were shipped by FedEx that day,
- in hopes that big profits would soon come their way.
- The work had been planned to the final detail.
- Management was confident that nothing would fail.
- They'd examined their strengths and knew how they compared.
- The goal was in sight. The team was prepared.
- Market research had clearly shown them the way.
- Sound strategy would keep them from going astray.
- Team work was more than a word to avow.
- Everyone had a say in who, what and how.
- Competitors reacted the way that they do,
- defending their turf and denying the truth.
- The team's product was superior, the service first-rate.
- One wonders why competitors responded so late.
- The customers were savvy, they knew what they wanted.
- The team had delivered. Their praise went undaunted.
- Financial results proved the merit of their vision.
- Revenues soared. They'd accomplished their mission.
- Shareholders cheered at the next annual meeting.
- The room was so packed there was no extra seating.
- When asked to explain how it had all been done,
- the President exclaimed, "We all worked as one."
- Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Strategic Advantage.
- May 2004 be your best year ever!
