Core idea: give opportunity to those who want to work, a stage to those who can deliver, and recognition and reward to those who get results. We hire on merit.
1) Character and competence. We look for both integrity and ability — neither is enough on its own.
2) Results first. We value capability over diplomas and performance over paper qualifications. Anyone who outperforms peers will be given real responsibility, regardless of background, education or age. Our technical staff and middle managers average about 35 years old; workshop supervisors about 30. They may be young and not always highly credentialed, but they have ability, energy and results.
