Our decentralized organization lets us build close relationships with our customers; make fast, effective decisions; and motivate our employees for the long term by encouraging them to take an entrepreneurial approach. This approach encourages risk-taking and perseverance, and requires a practical mindset and the ability to push our employees to outdo themselves.
