Investing in your people like this can make all the difference. Do right by your people and they will do right by your organisation 🏆

Thinking ahead and helping others grow is the only way to do it

Nowadays functioning teams are essential for success.

A company that invites and embraces #diversity, is a company that wins. Core values such as ambition, integrity, innovation, and teamwork are how #Fastenal creates a diverse winning team. Our Founder Bob Kierlin once said: “Each of us is special because we are human beings. But we are of different ages, weights, heights, and abilities although our humanness makes each of us special in the world we live in. So, strength and personality characteristics, along with our abilities, are what make each of us different and unique. Finding and using those unique qualities and abilities in others will make your team efforts more productive. See the uniqueness in everyone and develop the potential of all.” As a global company, Fastenal embraces the challenges that come with having a diverse team of individuals which may have conflicting perspectives. Fastenal’s emphasis on #teamwork and decentralized approach to decision making allows employees to work through problems to create unique solutions that best work for their teams and their customers. In an article by Micheli Machado she says, “This diversity fosters creativity and innovation, enabling teams to come up with unique solutions to complex problems.” (Link to Micheli’s article below) We are all different. We are all unique. We are all human. Let’s embrace it. #supplychaincareers #salescareers #campusrecruitment

How Scottish Psychedelic Band, The Shamen, help the Operations team at Granby “Do the Doing”. The latest in our series where we ask team leaders within Granby our Super Six questions. This week, it’s Andrew Gregson, our Operations Director. Can you give a very brief overview of your department's main responsibilities within #Granby? Operations – we do the doing, whatever is put our way we do in an efficient and timely manner. Is there a specific challenge or opportunity your department is currently facing – that you can share? Every day at Granby offers a new and fresh challenge for each of us and how we adapt to this is what makes us great at what we do. The unknown nature of each challenge is part of the job. What do you enjoy most about the culture and environment in your department?  The people are what makes Granby what it is, great team spirit where everyone works for each other. Can you share one memorable moment that made you feel proud to lead this department?  Too many to mention as there have been so many during my 23 years working here which in itself is pretty memorable. If your department had a theme song, what would it be and why?  It’s a track from The Shamen, a Scottish Psychedelic band. The track is ‘Progen’ although it’s better known as ‘Move any Mountain’. As the lyrics say, “Faith is so strong now nothing shall bar my way, Firm conviction is no fiction, This is my day, I can move, move, move any mountain.” That is definitely a feeling embraced by everyone in the team. If your department could have a superpower, what would it be and how would it benefit the team? The ability to read people’s minds! It would definitely help sometimes to know what it is that someone wants before you start. Take a look at the completed Super 6 Surveys from … Victoria Pittman https://lnkd.in/evya8Tg7   Paul Dunleavy https://lnkd.in/e_DbJt6c    

Yesterday we bid farewell to a valued team member with mixed feelings. While I am thrilled to see individuals advance and assume new roles, becoming well-rounded and robust professionals, the departure of this particular colleague feels like a significant loss for our organization. @Itumeleng Letsolo has been an exceptional ‘developer and builder’, with an impressive ability to grasp any subject matter she sets her sights on. Her innovation and commitment has been truly indelible. Her dependability and professional excellence have been nothing short of remarkable. Over the past seven years as her Director, we have both grown and sharpened each other’s skills, leading to mutual competence and growth. Her parting words were humbling: ✨ "How a department functions is dependent on its leadership, and I’m glad to have been part of this department where we worked as a true team. We understood what other divisions were doing, we were brought to speed on critical issues organisation wide, gained exposure to everything, built confidence, and focused not just on work but on our careers and future aspirations." ✨ "To those still here, it’s entirely up to you whether you embrace the way you are being led or not, but I would recommend you do because it’s to your benefit." ✨ "As I thought about how I would want to lead and reflected on the different leadership figures I have worked under, I have certainly chosen the one I’m leaving now." We are losing a superstar who will undoubtedly continue to add tremendous value to our country. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter where we are as long as we are serving our nation.

We are an amazing team. I appreciate the individual recognition but I know that I could not accomplish much without the knowledge and support of the Fleet Team at The Parts Authority 🙌 We are fortunate to have an amazing leader in Cory Beeler, MSA who consistently reminds us of the importance of accountability. That what we say should be held accountable and turned into real action. That our individual efforts reflect what we as a team can do and accomplish. It is often said that there is no I in TEAM and to me no other team exemplifies that like this one. One of the hardest things to do is take personal responsibility for your failures, it’s just human nature to find the easy way out and blame people, things or circumstances. In this team we hold each other accountable, that’s our strength. No excuses period. It’s not something pretty, it’s just basic principles that we all know but forget to implement. I love that and that’s what allows me to better myself and those around me. It’s our combined efforts, actions and accountability we hold for every individual on the Fleet Team that will allow us to grow our business and ourselves. We are just getting started, the train has left the station and it’s not slowing down. CHOO!CHOO! ALL ABOARD! #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo
