Employee Philosophy
“My goal is to achieve the extraordinary and continuously challenge traditional ways of doing things.”
“I am accountable for my work; I am a driver who continually adapts processes, products, and solutions, independent of challenges associated with change. A change agent always takes that risk to better a process, or a solution, for customers and peers.”
“Exceeding expectations is a significant part of my job. Every day is about creating value and contributing to our success. To me, the only way to exceed expectations is to create a new level of performance, and new ways of working through innovative and creative thinking.”
“Yesterday I focused on out thinking the competition and developing a strategy for success. Today I am implementing that strategy. And tomorrow I will revise it.”
“My commitment to Zhone is to work diligently with relentless passion each day to support my peers, our investors and our customers to the very best of my abilities.”
“I will contribute to the Zhone vision, mission, and core values with passion and a relentless pursuit of excellence.”
