Summary : Ray Thompson showed the world that you don’t have to be in the valley to be competitive
Ray Thompson (2006) showed the world that you don’t have to be in the valley to be competitive
- You can be anywhere, as long as you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your local environment and adapt to them
- Flying into the wind with private aircraft, he gained massive lift from being in Montana
- Journalists may hate it, but no one can deny that it works
- Another thing was having a stable workforce that wasn’t polishing resumes, while thinking about the next job and the pay increase it would bring
- Relying on this allowed Ray to build an extremely responsive company--almost too extreme in fact
