Guiding Principles
Partnership – Trust in a partnership is built and maintained through integrity, respect, reliability, and dependability. We work collaboratively but enjoy heated debates. Nevertheless, we are always tough on the issue but soft on people. It’s a long-term game.
Growth Mindset – We create value by growing businesses to the next level. We challenge teams to aim higher and think bigger. As a supportive partner, we provide teams with resources, remove complexity, and drive growth.
Entrepreneurial Courage – We see potential through complexity where others do not. Open-mindedness is required to spot opportunities beyond current market conventions – ones which will flourish in the long run. Then, it takes entrepreneurial courage, relentless energy, and determination to remove the complexity and bring this bold vision to life.
Meritocracy – Empower Talent and Reward them well – It’s all about talent. The best people, who add the most value, stay where they see perspective and are well rewarded. We empower our team to own the business plan and reward them financially. With that freedom comes responsibility along with clear and concise communication. Such empowerment and agility leads to superior performance.
Clear Priorities – We focus on issues that matter. We oversee customers, employees, and community commitment. Transparency along with aligned goals and incentives are keys to spending energy on what matters and acting as a partnership.
Asymmetric Upside with Downside Protection – We focus on investments where we can benefit from asymmetric value-creation opportunities. But we never risk the house to get there and want downside protection. It’s a long-term game. There is always another swing to add value.
