We are committed to building each and every business in the Enterprise. We believe in servant leadership throughout our organizations: helping others both within and outside our companies achieve shared goals rather than each of us working only to gain individual, purely personal objectives. If all are served well, our family's interests will be too.
We are long-term owners focused on building value over time. We respect the people, culture, values, independence, and the unique personality of each individual company in the Enterprise as critically important to the future success of that company and of the whole Enterprise. Our objective is to strengthen each organization in the Enterprise through many succeeding generations of owners, managers, and directors. It is not about maximizing the bottom line in the short term. We believe a company that is committed to enduring values rather than short term profits, will, over time, be most successful in serving coworkers, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which we operate. We do not care what stock brokers think, because we are not doing a "rollup." We do not intend to "go public."
