our core values

The phase two of c78 didn't go quite as smooth as phase one. There are some very challenging site conditions that we didn't fully anticipate. Gagan was able to overcome them with ease but just not totally smooth. After today we will be 100% complete with phases one and two of c78. Also we will be 100% complete with the a61 pool box.

the oven cabinet for b58 will be ready for install on wed. hopefully. Perhaps as late as Thursday, but only because of the companies fun event tomorrow. this is maybe our sixth fun event, I am personally really looking forward to it. At our staff meeting today I went over the first four essential steps of becoming an effective work group. I think they could possibly be our core values, creating an effective work is a core value of kidder blaisdell so it's only natural that the steps to being an effective work group are also core values, and here they are.

1. A sense of dependency, that means team members are dependant on me, and I am dependant on them.
2. A sense of structure and organization, that means defining what we do and defining how we do it.
3. A sense of inclusion, that means that everyone one the team feels included
4. constructive conflict, it surfaces and goes away quickly

those are Kidder Blaisdell's core values. I am not going to proclaim that we will deliver unsurpassed products, because that would be a con and everyone knows it. It is impossible to please everyone. Our values are in providing a living for ourselves a sustained living that we can depend on through any economic climate. We deliver fantastic cabinets and mill work that we work very hard on and we offer a great value by focusing on how we do what we do. Hence the effective work group. Now this is easier said then done, so all the time I go over these first four steps. Any one of my employees should be able to recite these four steps with out hesitation, and that takes repetition, repetition, repetition and to the new guys you need to hear it more and more until you start to see how powerful being in an effective work group can be. Also how rewarding and satisfying it can be, personally.
