Can the excellence culture add be leveraged to help a team at a particular time?
A team that does not value excellence is often one that is behind the curve, always playing catch up. A team that values excellence, on the other hand, is constantly striving to be the best at what they do. They are always looking for ways to improve their performance and exceed expectations. Hiring someone who deeply cares about excellence would add an important element to a team's culture of excellence. This person would set the tone for others on the team by exhibiting a strong work ethic and a commitment to quality. Others would be inspired to follow suit, leading to improved performance across the board.
