Early in his career, my great friend, mentor, and Churchill's founder, Mike Hardwick, was recruited by the firm. On one of his first days, he found himself across the desk from Mr. Bradford learning about the company and its culture. Mr. Bradford told him that around here, we operate under the theory of the broom. As Mike responded with an inquisitive, slightly confused, raised brow, head nod, his new leader continued with: "Whoever is closest to the broom...sweeps". In other words, if I walk by your office and your client needs a cup of coffee, it's my job to fill it up. If I see trash on the ground or the fax machine needs a new roll of paper or toner, it's my job to take care of it. Regardless of your position, there's no job too small. We simply help each other, no matter what.
"Dont be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too." - Philippians 2:3-4
Imagine a culture where people compete to be recognized as the most helpful...
