Mother Made Me Do It

November 10th, 2009

I recently had a meeting with Sharp Business Systems here in Indianapolis.  First, I have to say that it was a refreshing business meeting unlike some I have attended, but before the meeting ever started, I saw a “Guiding Principles” statement hanging on a wall.  What struck me was the second point which said “We operate our business in a manner that would make our parents proud.”

That was an interesting projections that most people should be able to relate to.  Even to this day at age 50 I still have that genetic wiring that says, “Make your parents proud.” I am convinced that we cannot escape such programming.  And to see a company assert such a statement was impressive and relevant to all those who read.  My hat goes off to Sharp Business Systems for promoting a basic human principle that we all can relate and stick to.
