Back on my Inside the Box Soapbox
John Miller's idea of thinking inside the box success continues to resonate so much with me. As I've said in other blog posts, the best success is when we work inside the box we have and stop looking for greener grass.
Expand the box? Sure.
Get better in the box? Absolutely.
I look at Alethes today, versus where it was a year ago and there very obvious changes. Yet, there are other changes that are not so obvious. And it is those changes that matter the most. These changes have found the soul of Alethes; the strenghth, the patience, and the resolve.
These changes have brought about some gut wrenching results, yet, we've survived.
Alethes is not a stronger company financially today than it was a year ago. But Alethes is a stronger company spiritually. Alethes' management is wiser and more prepared for continued changes, good or bad, that will come our way.
Alethes' mission is, in part, to glorify God and that is not just in the good times, but during the not so good times also. We intend to get better at our business principles, our investing in our people, and how we impact the communities we serve. We intend to continue to learn how to live out our values of being Trustworthy, Respectful, Uncompromising, Teamworkers, and Healthy.
We intend to make a difference and make a profit and help others do the same.
To that end....
