What Inspires My Team?
—
I have three key attributes of the business that I never veer from and I talk often about them.
At Clayco, we surround ourselves with the “Best and Brightest.” Our company is full of over achievers, most smarter than me. They are a group of ambitious, thoughtful, diverse people that want to make a difference in the world and an impact every day.
Secondly, my dad, Harold Clark, instilled in me to think about the golden rule every day – “to treat people how you want to be treated.” This applies to how we partner with subcontractors and vendors and basically set us apart as a true partner to the supply chain.
And thirdly, if you do the first two things religiously, you can be selective about where you apply your craft. YOU chose where you spend your time, so choose carefully and get yourselves in a position to be able to decide your own fate.
