Our office was fortunate to tour Printing, Inc. yesterday.
The purpose of our tour was to learn more about the Leadership Development
Program offered by Printing, Inc.’s parent company, Consolidated Graphics.
The tour was informative and even offered the opportunity to
jump across, or through, rain puddles, but the best part for me was learning
from Brad Haralson, President of Printing, Inc. Brad’s three steps to success
are straight to the point and pretty easy to work by:
1.
Come in early.
2.
Connect with people.
3.
Learn something new every day.
We also asked Brad what he looks for in candidates when he
is hiring. The first words out of his mouth, with absolutely no hesitation,
were “work ethic.” Work ethic as
demonstrated by working hard, doing more than expected, doing more than the
other person is willing to do.
I think we can all learn from Brad Haralson. Come in early,
connect with people, learn something new every day. And, don’t forget. . . work
hard. Sounds like good advice to me.
“ And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic.
You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working.” ~ Will Smith
