A business like a family does not hold together unless is has common bonds of a belief system or in other words a philosophy.

At the start of the Just Maintenance partnership with my wife, our Philosophy was simple, find enough work each week to pay the mortgage, feed the kids and fill the tank. Funny how things have not changed much!  However we came to understand the meaning of having a business philosophy as we employed others to assist with the workload our business was generating.

Today we employ managers and office staff: tradespeople, trade apprentices and as skilled and unskilled labours.  The staff of jms Group qld are happy with the work they are being asked to preform.  The driving force behind this job satisfaction can be summed up in one word - Values.
 
As values are those thing to which we give priority to, it is obvious to me that the priorities of the organisation and the priorities of the individual overlap to create a cohesive environment to work in.
 
In coming years I hope to articulate our shared values and seek a better understanding of my behaviour managing this organization guides by our values.
