Work Style
We place importance on style in our leadership roles.
- Our success is a function of our ability to get work done through other people. This requires recognition of our colleague's style and how to adapt our style to work most effectively with them.
- We are only as good as our people. So we must be excellent at selecting the right individuals for our organization. In the decision-making process, besides an individual's experiences and achievements, we pay particular attention to an individual's style because it determines the ability to work effectively with colleagues, and it reflects other pertinent qualities as well, like temperament, character and maturity. Our level of interest is dependent upon inherent consistency between a candidate's words, achievements and style.
- We not only must make good decisions on people but also must make them promptly. We base decisions on the assumption that the individual's performance, implying style as well, will not change significantly over time. This belief makes for quicker decisions.
- We emphasize creating a pleasant, casual work environment where people can laugh and have fun while striving for success.
