Our Culture
An organization’s culture should be a direct reflection of their mission, vision, and values. How they conduct business, manage workflows, interact as a team, and treat their clients, all reflect the complexion of the organization. At The Cannon Group, we believe that organizational culture is the sum of a company’s beliefs in action.
MISSION - Our mission statement has and will remain, "Always keep growing."
VISION - Our corporate vision is to be a force for change, improvement and growth.
VALUES - Punctual, Organized, Accountability, Growth, Leadership, High Standards
LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY - Our values, expectations, and skills help guide our corporate leadership philosophy of:
- Leadership is the ability to gather a group of individuals and become a team for the betterment of an organization and the people within it through initiatives of change;
- Leadership is about allowing others’ strengths to overcome your own weaknesses to improve results; and
- Leadership is about using change as a force to pull (and sometimes push) individuals outside of their comfort zones to recognize personal and professional growth.
A company is only as strong as its executive leadership.
