Their CEO --- every two weeks --- for the last five years --- has written a personal letter to every employee --- placed in their paycheck stub envelope. (That personal letter keeps everyone on the same page: “What we’re improving and accomplishing, what needs to improve… and what’s next”.)

Their CEO is one of the few I know --- who conducts “Periodic Business Reviews” --- with Top Ten Customers.

Their CEO… is an Icon for --- Ride-for Rwanda --- (a.k.a., WBR, or World Bicycle Relief….for 13 countries in Africa and Southeast Asia.) --- raising over $1,500,000  y-t-d --- for developing sustainable, practical transportation --- for getting small plot agriculture to local markets, needed medical assistance, and education for children – holistically --- raising a country’s standard of living.

accountabilityAs a personal observation, their V.P. of Manufacturing --- is also rare --- demanding and breathing accountability….As an illustration, maybe the ONLY Plant Manager I ever heard say, “Every one of our Job Descriptions and SOP’s --- must be updated --- every year!
