Our Philosophy
“Fellow Traveler”
We sincerely believe that our client successes are dependent on building critical and deep relationships with every leader, leadership team, stockholder group, and organization with whom we work. Our ability to create and maintain those relationships is treasured as one of our most important core competencies. We refer to it as becoming a “fellow traveler,” and we are convinced that it contributes directly to our success with clients. You can learn more about our clients’ successes here.
We don’t take that unique ability for granted, and we are confident that you will see our commitment to the relationship exhibited in our work. We go to great lengths to build our working relationships on basic foundational pillars of trust, friendship, respect, encouragement, curiosity, honesty, genuine accountability, and the courage to openly discuss the issues that really matter. Unless this kind of relationship is first established and then fully leveraged, the chances of us being able to help your company successfully get through the key transition you face are greatly diminished – if not impossible.
Our approach is built around a sincere sense of caring, common sense, hard work, commitment, and perseverance. Even though this sounds and seems like a very simple approach, it is not easy, but we are proud and happy to say that it is a very important and effective part of our success.
Our Values
To fulfill our stated purpose, we are totally dedicated to operating by the following values:
Relationships
Everything we do is built around the quality and depth of the working relationship. We believe that one of our primary core competencies is the ability to form and maintain strong relationships. We value them dearly and we manage them accordingly.
Care & Caring
We care deeply about the people and companies with whom we work. We can’t help it; we just care.
Service & Serving
We are totally committed to serving our valued customers. Serving and helping are what we do and why we exist.
Honor & Integrity & Honesty
In every part of our business we will operate honorably, with the utmost integrity, and in a spirit of total honesty.
Confidentiality
Because of the nature of our business relationships and work, we deal every day with very sensitive information, and we treat that information with respect and care. In short, we keep sensitive information confidential.
Humility & Confidence
We commit to operating humbly, but also with confidence, knowing that we’ve been blessed with unique talents and corresponding successes.
Discernment & Judgment
We always act by doing what we believe is the right thing. Doing the right thing always trumps everything else, even if that comes at our own expense.
Fun
We fully recognize that our work is difficult and demanding. However, that will not stop us from having fun, and we commit to doing so. We will not compromise quality or competence, but we are committed to enjoying our work. Laughter is not only OK…it is mandatory!
