“To be clear, the main point of this chapter is not just about assembling the right team – that’s nothing new. The main point is to first get the right people on the bus (and the wrong people off the bus) before you figure out where to drive it.”
– Jim Collins
“Letting the wrong people hand around is unfair to all the right people”
– Jim Collins
“If you want to create a company that is fun to work for, where productivity and creativity are high, and that you are actually glad to lead, you must create a culture of communication.”

In my previous blog posts I have talked about our Education Plan at Kodiak Mountain Stone. We have been fortunate enough to have gained some recognition from our program. Alberta Venture magazine has honored us as one of the finalist in The Small Business Superstars contest.
Our full story can be read at http://smallbusiness.albertaventure.com/?p=1679
We have had great support so far, but we are trailing in votes by a small margin after the first month of voting. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to vote until the closing of the contest at the end of November, 2012.
To vote you are asked to open an account, which consists of an email address and a password. At that point, Alberta Venture offers some great opportunities to receive content from them. But if you wish, you can also opt out of receiving any content. By voting, you can also have the opportunity to win tickets to the Business Person of the Year luncheon in January as well as the chance to win subscriptions to Alberta Venture magazine.
We would very much appreciate you support by voting for us. Thank you!
