DO YOU STRIVE TO IMPROVE EACH DAY?

Three things that matter: Do you feel your thoughts and ideas matter at work? Are you committed to quality work? Are you growing because of your involvement with our company? Our leadership training every year focuses on creating an environment where those three things can happen. All of us are smarter than each of us. Everyone on our team needs to be able to speak up when they see something that can make things better.

Teams Working Together Fuel Continuous Improvement

Elite teams work on getting better. The teams do it on their own accord. They find the motivation from within to stretch their ability and results. In our operations, we have hundreds of small teams.

To consider how, where and when accidents occur in your area and

“EXCELLENCE” DOESN’T HAPPEN LATER…”IT HAPPENS RIGHT NOW”

I’m reading a book called: The Excellence Dividend by Tom Peters. Peters is a famous management guru who touts “excellence” as the only way to conduct life. I’ve found his thoughts on this subject to be practical and profound. He has several classic books through the years. He’s an author who is worth a read or listen. In my reading today, he said “excellence” is not a tomorrow thing…It’s a “in the next five minute”

CULTURE IS WHAT YOU PRACTICE, PROMOTE AND PERMIT

“Culture is what you practice, promote and permit”. Tim Kight, Organizational Consultant. Having a constructive culture is the key to successful organizations. Culture is reflected in the beliefs we have, the way we behave and the quality of experience, because we were around. So, I pay attention to Kights culture quote. What you practice: your team will be the sum total of the things you do. Not what you say. What you do. You can

Let The Team Determine How To Reach A Goal

“Tell me “what”. Don’t tell me “how”. When I wasn’t the CEO, when given an assignment that’s what I wanted to know. That’s a challenge of leadership.

HAPPENING TO THE WORLD – A SATISFYING WAY TO LIVE

PalletOne leaders “happen to the world.” What does that mean? A PalletOne leader is confident. Each situation creates an opportunity for service and contribution. We are talented and put those talents to work. We see those around us as having talent. We seek to unlock it. We realize that we can be called upon to take the initiative to improve things at any moment. We act when the situation calls for it. We inspire through

SUFFERING AND CHALLENGES

“Weep, trust, pray, think, shift, hope, grow. Ways to handle suffering.” – Tim Keller Tim Keller was a preacher from New York City. He passed away in 2023. I followed him on Twitter because he tweeted profound thoughts like the one above. You don’t exit life without tough things happening to you. It’s a fact. None of us are exempt. In specific order, Keller gave us seven verbs to consider when challenged: Weep – It’s
