Pit & Quarry, June 2017

PITANDQUARRY COM An Inside Look m not a guy who typically draws inspiration from famous quotes but I came across one recently that gave me pause for a moment of reflection Former President Harry S Truman spoke the words that struck me I stating It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit The words gave me pause for a few reasons My first thought was about my own nature Am I the guy who continuously has to get the credit for accomplishments big and small I suppose its human nature for some people to operate in such a way Reinforcement or recognition of good deeds can surely further our development But how are the greatest accomplishments truly achieved Are they achieved as a means to an end Or are they achieved through concerted efforts the kind through which leaders get satisfaction in the success of others Getting credit for a job well done is a nice reward But seeing others succeed celebrating their achievements and giving away the credit can be even more rewarding Aggregate producers absolutely go about business this way and its one of the things I appreciate about our industry When visiting quarries site leaders often take the time to introduce me to their longtime employees the 30 40 and 50 year veterans who are essential to daily operations Managers and executives get that their companys success depends on the men and women who get dirty every day and meet the high demands of the job The people in this industry dont care about who gets the credit Producers illustrate this in how they approach safety dispelling any notion of credit in the name of getting everyone home safely at the end of each workday This really is a selfless industry Its one that follows the rules quietly goes about its business and takes the safety of everyone involved seriously This industry shares many of my values and its one thats also helped to shape my values along the way Kevin Yanik EDITOR IN CHIEF Producers follow the rules quietly go
