Together, Everyone Achieves More
An organization is only as good as its team members. The success of an organization is a collective effort by every one of its team members. As Steve Jobs puts it succinctly, “Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.”
When CLOUT was being envisaged as a one-stop destination for all things crypto, the founders always believed that to bring the dream of CLOUT into reality they would need the best in the business. They would need talent that has a demonstrated track record and proven expertise and experience to imbibe the vision of what CLOUT endeavored to be and chart a strategy to achieve this objective.
Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress and working together is success. Gradually, talented individuals did start coming together. However, it is easy to find good players but making them play as a team is a different ballgame altogether. As is the case with any organization, differences of opinion led to a few team members drifting away. However, the vision of CLOUT never faded and after all the initial hiccups, CLOUT has made a fresh start, a new beginning.
