ExecutiveBiz featured Rocky Thurston, chief operating officer at DMI, in its most recent Executive Spotlight interview published Monday. He discussed his career and what he hopes to accomplish with the company. The Q&A also tackled DMI’s recent initiatives to grow its business and workforce as well as the core values that are important to the company’s culture.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with Thurston:
“Our leadership team sat down with a group of DMI employees and rewrote our company values. Honestly, our new core values are not your run-of-the-mill statements. We wanted powerful and meaningful values that our people, stakeholders, and customers will live and embrace.
When I speak to our people I reference our core values – Be Bold, Be Unique, Be Curious, Be Human – and I conclude with Be DMI. These statements represent who we are today and who we will become in the future.
With all the acquisitions we’ve made and will make in the future, we never want to lose the special traits of our company and the people who have been with us for a long time.”
