Guiding Principles
ESOP Sustainability: We do everything within our control to meet project budgets and schedules, so our ESOP prospers.
Take Ownership: Each Employee-Owner takes ownership at the individual level for their words, actions, and results. Individual ownership breeds accountability. Accountability breeds trust. When we hold ourselves accountable and trust our fellow employee-owners to do the same, we realize success.
Clear Communication: We project confidence in our communication using unambiguous language and providing clear purpose and direction.
Pursuit of Excellence: We aggressively pursue continuous improvement both as teams and individual employee-owners. We strive to get better every day. There is no room for mediocrity.
Pride in Our Work: We know the value of our work and are proud of what we produce.
Customer Focus: Customers are both internal and external and we strive to give both our best efforts.
Assume Positive Intent: Assume others are well-intentioned in their actions and seek additional information about the circumstances to help solve problems. Assuming positive intent in all interactions is the key to building strong teams and working together to solve problems.
One Voice: Every Employee-Owner is expected to speak up if they have an idea for improvement or if they disagree with a potential course of action. Once a decision is made, the entire team commits to it and moves forward with one voice.
