As we travel down the list, the quality that might possibly be most inherently critical to a high-performing team is Respect. Respect manifests itself in acknowledging others and valuing their contributions, and engaging them in decisions and operational activities.
In conceiving the opulent designs when producing the extraordinary event “Reign” at Bellagio, Diane Butner exhibited a deep respect for her colleagues in every phase of the design process. “Being open to other people's opinions, ideas and design concepts during our collaborative design process has always been a win-win situation”, Diane shares. “It not only produces innovative, top-notch designs, it fills the design team with a feeling of pride and satisfaction.”
The strength & effectiveness of an organization is increased dramatically by actively engaging, empowering, and trusting those that work for and with you. And a deep and profound respect for creative partners and vendors associated with the production yield results that exceed expectations.
Rrivreworks adds some exquisite elements to the unique gated entryway leading to the event space transformed into a magnificent Russian Palace. Along the way, the beauty is magnified by interactive performers bedecked in glorious flowing costumes designed by Entertainment Plus.
On a more intimate scale, the beautiful purple hues that Diane has infused into the above event are enhanced by Chameleon Chairs’ one-of-a-kind designs and the stunning floral creations that MGM MIRAGE Events is known for. And finally, who could not respect the phenomenal talents of one of the world’s premiere pastry chefs, Jean Philippe Maury?
A closing thought on respect:
We’ve all grown up learning the Golden Rule- “Treat others the way you would like to be treated”. But even more significant in today’s workplace is the Platinum Rule- “Treat others the way they want to be treated”.
