Here's my recipe for a great executive committee team offsite: 🔸 Mix equal parts strategy and team building. 🔸 Add a dash of fun, like bowling. 🔸 Top it off with a generous serving of employee talent development discussion. This week, I have the pleasure of hosting Melinta Therapeutics annual executive committee offsite in Asbury Park. It's a time for our leadership team to come together to operationalize our strategy, review our performance and strengthen our bond as a team. We have dedicated three days to a balanced mix of operationalizing our strategic plan, team-building activities, and fun moments such as bowling. I recognize that asking our leaders to spend time away from their families is no small request, but this amazing team wholeheartedly embraces this opportunity each year. One of the areas of focus from our offsite is the importance of understanding the developmental needs of your teams. Our company culture is built on the belief that continuous growth and improvement are essential for success. I am proud to say that at Melinta, we value personal and professional growth for everyone, from our entry-level employees to our executive team. We believe that investing in our people is the key to driving innovation and achieving success. I am confident that our team will leave feeling energized, motivated, and united in our goals for the upcoming year. Our offsite is not just a time to plan for the future, but it's also a time to strengthen relationships and create memories that will last long after we return to the office. As we continue to grow and evolve as a company, I am excited to see how we will continue to drive forward towards even greater success.

What a fantastic offsite meeting we had yesterday! We took a moment to deep dive into our past accomplishments and celebrated all the wins from last year. But you know what? Last year is in the rearview mirror now. We're geared up and excited about the new opportunities in this fresh fiscal year.I've always believed that it's not just about the results we achieve, but the journey we take to get there. Why? Because of People and culture. When you get People and Culture right, the results naturally fall into place. It's not about chasing numbers; it's about nurturing an environment where every person has the opportunity to thrive and contribute their best.The Northstar chart below is our guide to success. Remember, it's not just about ticking off boxes—it's about fostering a community where everyone- team, client, and business partners- feels valued and motivated.Looking forward to another incredible year ahead with our amazing team!#TeamSpirit #NewYearNewGoals #PeopleFirst #CultureMatters
