I saw this post from my good friend and colleague Brett Frevert from CFO Systems, LLC. It personifies our attitude here at AcceleratingCFO as well as we don't want to be the type of finance leaders that tell you what you should be doing without teaching and implementing it as well. As the saying goes, we teach #entrepreneurs how to fish for cash flow!

Safety begins with team work... At Wela we believe in doing the work safe, doing it on the right way.

RESPECT - what's it all about? At Kortec, we define it as "Honest, kind and timely teamwork" Really it's about treating others not just how you would like to be treated, but how they want to be treated. That applies to everyone - not just our team and our clients, but our suppliers, business partners, service agents etc We've proved this works for us in many ways: - honesty means we're never trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes (internally or externally) - so we can have robust and open conversations that reach strong solutions - kindness means that those we work with are always willing to go the extra mile when needed - we look after each other - being timely means we're proactive and stuff gets done - leaving things till the last minute doesn't do anybody any good And finally teamwork - we laugh at the old "makes the dream work" cliche, but it's really true! We've proved so many times that there are always unexpected resources across the team to meet any need, as long as we remember to work on it as a team. So Respect works for us, and we believe it works for all our contacts too Feel free to share your ideas about company values below! #companyvalues #coatings #coatingsindustry #coatingstechnology #coatingsolutions

Creating a strong safety culture is challenging, and I often pondered the personal significance of being safe. To me, it meant that my operational team felt my care for them, akin to my own child. I set an unwavering standard: nothing left the station unless done safely. The team, true to their word, strictly adhered to their safety training under my leadership. It was simple – we had a heartfelt commitment to "do it safely." This campaign is for me really powerful and is built on the success of Bryant Latham powerful story. Share what safety culture means to you. For me it’s about building a culture of just caring for each other!!! Doing things correctly and going home safely.

Safety is for everyone and everywhere

What to put in the time capsule? ✨ One of our treasures can be this interview on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of SafetyHeads, which continues what we started already a year ago. This time, we're looking at the past year from a different perspective and in a different form. How has SafetyHeads changed over the last 12 months, what made us laugh, and what was a challenge?🌟 Watch the interview and see what we think! 😉 https://lnkd.in/dPyJPjqg

"When safety is "Everyone's job", it's no one's job.". That single sentence speaks volumes about assigned responsibility, assumed responsibility and ownership of process. I'm not sure of the origin of the sentence, but the first time I heard it was from @andymadura over twenty years ago. While regulations and guidelines often assign safety duties, in less structured industries or projects environment it is often the culture of responsibility and accountability that makes some people naturally step up and own the process. Here's a thank you to all the men and women in the live event world that have "owned" safety. They have delivered projects safely on time, safe customer and audience experiences, and thousands of flawless live events. And a thank you to all the high performing companies that have taken the steps to make event or production safety an assigned role. It's making a difference. #eventsafety #safetyleadership
