“Where are we going?”
“What are we doing and why?”
“How do I fit in to the bigger picture?”
These are some of the most important questions that our company has to answer. And frankly, they are questions that you and me–all of us as Anderson Team members–should expect a compelling answer to. In case you missed the Christmas Party, check out the video above. The Directional Team has spent significant time and energy addressing these issues and plotting the course for the future. It boils down to this:
Our Mission, “Because People Matter, we will serve your needs by always doing what is right” is the reason we keep our doors open. We believe so strongly in this, that we think it should be at the center of Anderson’s strategic plan. That’s why we’ve created a Ten Year Vision for the company. It’s the highest level plan we’ve got, and it’s deeply rooted in our Mission.
The 10 Year Vision stands as an answer to the three questions above. It can be broken up into six parts, and everything we do as a business fits underneath one of them.
- Increasing Market Footprint
- Diversification of Business
- Next Generation Leaders
- Team Member Life Wellness
- Multiplied Vision
- BPM Inc.
That means that regardless of what you do on a daily basis, your contribution is helping move the 10 Year Vision forward. None of this would be possible without your hard work and dedication as part of the Team.
I’ve said many times, to many people, I can get out of bed everyday for the Mission of AAG because it’s all about people and that fact that people matter. As a company we are all over the map in regard to progress of mission success. The exciting thing is that more and more team members are saying with their actions, “I’m in” let’s do this together so to speak. I know this because the levels of engagement and understanding are climbing as is the breadth of impact in the lives of people on the team, and in the market communities of AAG. Let’s keep rolling forward for even greater impact in the days to come. In short living for what really matters.
