“We don’t get do-overs,” says Jeannie Deml. “Challenges are where we have the opportunity to grow.” With Jeannie at the helm, Enerquip has more than doubled sales, its culture defined by a steadfast commitment to being extraordinary, even in adversity.
For Jeannie, extraordinary performance comes from extraordinary people. And the foundation is an extraordinary culture. Here is how she built one:
- Foster a safe space to talk. Look at issues objectively.
- Always bear in mind: “What is the next thing we need to work on, do better or uncover.”
- Create a culture playbook. (Enerquip’s has 31 fundamentals!)
- Build an environment where all are respected.
- Equally prioritize culture with profitability.
