“Every teammate here should have an understanding of and a sense of ownership in the direction the business is going,” Joshua explains. “If someone is just keeping their head down and they’re stuck in the day-to-day and they don’t really know why they’re doing what they’re doing, it’s hard to get buy in. So the first thing I did was have a conversation with everybody about where the business was going and the role they could play in getting it there.” “I am a big believer in considering the whole person,” he adds. “So we also talked about where they see themselves in the near future, the distant future, what goals they had set for themselves, and how Emco Stratford could align with those goals.” Where alignment was possible, Joshua says that the team leaned into it; where it wasn’t possible, both parties moved on respectfully. The result is a streamlined team of four today, including an operations manager who joined through Emco’s strategic development program and is now a key long-term business partner.
