Our Underlying Value - "Demonstrating Your Best"
This concept is borne, as many of our principles are, out of lessons from our beloved and esteemed family matriarch, mother and grandmother, Samella Myers Gates.
Our Mission
One of her most important lessons to us was "don't be a zero!" Stated differently, she would say, "Always deliver a product!" In her thinking, doing this assured the value of your personal (and organizational) stock would stay on the rise!
Another revelation from her and those of us subscribing to and following her teachings was that we were "burdened" with the need to do or "demonstrate our best" at all times.
Thus, our commitment and quest are to help organizations address and pursue this question: “How can organizations then develop and practice this?”
It is our belief this standard must first undergird the values of your enterprise if stated goals are to be realized, and therefore the core value that we bring into and strive to assist each relationship we enter into with achieve.
