For present and future members of
the Acro team, we set forth here a brief statement of Acro's mission, philosophy, and the relationship between
our philosophy and vision. Our collective attention to these matters will continue to
be among our most important responsibilities.
Our Vision
– Our Dream
Little of consequence is accomplished unless there is first a
dream. After each dream comes the work to make the dream come true. Our
vision is that Acro will:
Acro's
Mission – Our Aim
To realize its Vision, Acro
will be a growth-focused company. In responsible growth lies the sustained
well being of all our stakeholders: our customers, employees, suppliers,
shareholders and the community.
To grow, we will constantly
strive to find new and better ways to serve our customers through personal
responsibility, teamwork, innovation, process improvements, expansion into
new geographic areas and offering new, but related, business lines.
We
will do everything within our power to exceed customer expectations and
build long-term relationships.
Our
Philosophy and Principles
Acro is guided by a
philosophy based on certain core values, perhaps best summarized by the
Golden Rule--Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You.
Although the Acro philosophy can be summarized by the Golden Rule, it is
composed of many principles, including:
-
Fairness
-
A proper balance between head and heart
-
Participative versus authoritarian management
-
Having as few rules as possible
-
Doing everything reasonable for the
individual without harming the team
-
Helping the individual to become all that he
or she is capable of becoming
-
Optimizing rather than maximizing our
financial success
-
Doing the right things for the right reasons,
with major emphasis on the long-range consequences of our
decisions.
Although we will continue to expand and refine the principles embodied in
the Acro philosophy, our emphasis will be on communicating, exemplifying
and actually living the Golden Rule day in and day out, throughout the
whole firm.
