CablesAndKits makes the 2010 Inc5000 list

by

This past year was an exciting year for us here at CablesAndKits. It was particularly exciting for me as the CFO, because we were and are so focused on metrics. As part of the executive leadership team here, I have been challenging our teams and leaders to find ways to measure their team performance as well as the company’s performance as it relates to their particular roles. There have been many interesting discussions because of this focus, and our team members are learning things about themselves and about business that they never knew before.

Gwinnett Children bless CablesAndKits at Christmas

By: Jonathan Stover, Michelle McCullers and Ryan VanEmburgh

The following blog has been written by three separate CnK team members and edited and melded together by me, Christin. We wanted to take a little time to tell you a little about our end of the year Community Outreach projects. All of these projects were successful, not just for the need that was filled, but for the reminder to us about what is really important and how blessed we are to have our work, our homes, and our families.

Let’s just face it, we have it pretty good. Your car won’t start? At least you have one. You’re a little late on your mortgage payment? At least you have one.  Having some difficulties at work, well, let just face it, you’re lucky you have a job at all. The same can be said about so many aspects of our lives. Even those most fundamental, rudimentary things we tend to overlook and take for granted. Even those things that mean the most, like family.

Culture: A Recipe for Success

by

“Culture”- it has become a popular buzzword in the workplace in recent years.  You hear about this concept in several variations such as:  Organizational Culture, Corporate Culture or Company Culture.  Since the images of “Corporate” or “Organizational” Culture bring up  negative connotations for me personally, I prefer to refer to it as “Company Culture”.

Merry Christmas from CablesAndKits

by

CablesAndKits.com is located near Atlanta, GA – we are not used to it being 25° F outside every morning!  Needless to say, I have elevated my coffee intake to “addiction level” in order to fight the cold – or at least make it more enjoyable.

It seems like we were just having our Thanksgiving Chili-cook-off yesterday, but all of the sudden Winter has come upon us in full force. By this time everyone has had one-too-many leftover turkey sandwiches and we’re all ready to get into the Christmas spirit. [Read more…] about Merry Christmas from CablesAndKits

Losing is Winning

by

It’s just in my nature to want to win. So much so, I sometimes pay a higher price than I should to assure that I maintain my place at the top. But hey, that’s just what you have to do.  I mean, that’s what you’re supposed to do, right? It is in fact the reason we are “successful”, the reason athletes get paid the “big bucks”, and the very reason I am typing this email for the company I work for…….because I had the winning resume. Or is it? [Read more…] about Losing is Winning

The Swiss Army Knife

by

At CablesAndKits.Com, the new generation of employee is constantly being groomed and smelted (that is an odd combo) into a durable and versatile being. Back in the day when I first started, I was sent through a pilot training program (not to be read as being trained to fly a plane, although you never know around here) that included a 360 degree view of everyone’s job.
