Leadership
Many organizations today depict their management structure in the traditional wiring diagram that would reveal more of a “top down” approach in support of customer operations.
We look at that very differently.
We know that our success depends on the success of the account leadership located at each customer facility that we serve. Like the soldier on the battlefield, our management structure is created to support the efforts of those who operate in the “trenches” each and every day, working hard to deliver the results that we promised.
We turned it upside down.
Our “bottom up” approach provides the strong roots and solid foundation to leverage the wealth of experience of our leadership team in support of our customer operations.
