About
|
This is the space where you get to know us as much as
you can. We looked extensively at what other sites in and out of our
genre were doing. Most of what we read sounded okay, but it really did
not communicate to us what the company was about. We decided to be
different and a bit more forthright. It is funny, but we were advised
that the way we wrote this page might actually cost us some business.
After great debate and discussion we decided, what the heck, this is
who we are and what we really believe.

The Talk We Walk
- If I can
only choose one path to knowledge that path will always be practical
experience. Get your hands dirty! Never tell someone how to do
something that you have never done yourself.
- When I am asked a
question I do not know I view it as a potential opportunity to learn
something new.
- When I am
asked a question I do not know I say “I don’t
know”. A number one complaint I hear from customers, friends,
and co-workers is that they hate when someone makes up an answer to a
question they do not know the answer for! People will respect you for
saying “I don’t know”.
- Be
personally accountable for all that you do.
- Do
not confuse disagreement with “lacking respect”. Be
professional, but be critical of ideas not people. It is vital that we
scrutinize and voice our opinions in an effort where the outcome is to
truly produce a “better mousetrap”. Silence and
consensus serves absolutely no benefit in producing better products or
processes. Throw these at the proverbial wall, what sticks let stick,
what does not was not meant to be on the wall. If your motivation for
criticism is anything other than what I have said then you should be
quiet. Team players stir the pot in appropriate ways!
- Seek
to solve problems and help others. Let others help you. The latter is a
great sign of strength, not weakness and one that most of us do not
nearly practice enough.
