IT’S NOT JUST A PALLET

It’s more than just a pallet. When we construct it well, it’s a safe platform–securely nailed using solid components. It bears the load safely through the supply chain. It’s a tool for efficient production. Our product is vital to the manufacturing process. It must be uniform to pass through palletizing equipment. Sensors read it so it can be machine-loaded by robots. So, it must be consistent. The next one should be like the last one.

QB BROCK PURDY – A SUCCESSFUL MINDSET

Brock Purdy, the Super Bowl-bound San Francisco 49ers’ second-year quarterback, inspires many. He was a relatively obscure quarterback coming out of Iowa State. Good enough to be drafted, but he was the last person drafted in the Class of 2021. Last year, injuries to the QBs in front of him forced him into a starting role. He exceeded all expectations by leading his team to the playoffs. He did so well that he was named

CHOICES, CHANCES, CHANGES

“Choices, chances, changes. You must make a choice to take a chance if you want anything in life to change.” – Zig Ziglar A common value we express is “happening to the world” before the world happens to us. It’s an active strategy. It demands that we not be passive. No doubt, stuff happens to us every day that we don’t see coming. Happening to the world says when stuff happens, we don’t stay down.

BUILDING HIGH EXPECTATIONS INTO OTHERS

What do you expect? I saw this quote recently: “Build high expectations into others.” It made me pause. Do I expect big things from those around me? Is developing high expectations a strategy for me? Great leaders master the art of high expectations: ·They believe that most of their charges don’t know how good they can be. They press their team to move into hard territories. Try new things. Set big goals. They see potential.

But when they do occur, I am fortunate to have a support team around me to share in the experience. I know so many who are having to

RECRUITING

We are only as good as our teammates! People make their way to our team through various routes. They respond to ads. They see a banner and walk in off the street. They grow up in the community and come here because it’s convenient. I’ve had a hand in building our team for over 40 years.
