1. World Class companies consist of coordinated teams working together with a common purpose.
   
   
2. World Class companies have employees who know where the company is now, where it is headed and what they need to do to ensure that it gets there.
   
   
3. World Class companies spend a lot of time educating employees on the interrelationships and interdependencies they have with their co-workers and other departments to ensure communication, cooperation and collaboration.

A World Class Company is any company that:

• Utilizes its people to the max
• Has high quality standards
• Is striving for continuous improvement of its operations
• Is concerned about the community and the environment
• Consistently delivers exceptional performance and exceed customer expectations

1. World Class Performance begins with world-class trust.
2. World Class Trust begins when in-house secrets are extremely limited and managers stop being bottlenecks of information flow.
3. To accomplish that means creating a more ‘open’ culture:
   Inform/Communicate
   Involve/Cooperation
   Inspire/Collaboration

World Class Performance Means Having Employees Who:

1. Think for themselves
2. Take responsibility for their own jobs
3. Learn to work with each other as a team
4. Become synergistic in their thinking
5. Identify and Eliminate Waste

To do that, we must:

• Make everyone aware of what the roles, goals, functions, responsibilities, accountabilities, objectives and measurements are for every sub-department and every position within each sub-department throughout the company
  
• Make continuous improvement and finding a better way an essential part of our culture
  
• Provide the tools to grow, develop and make our people more valuable to All Seals and our customers

Actions:

I. Formulate, Share and Implement All Seals’ Vision and Strategic Plan for creating and building the NEW All Seals.

II. Work with individuals and teams to build job descriptions and determine roles, goals, functions, responsibilities, contributions, accountabilities and objectives.

III. Drive the Vision and Strategic Plan down through to all the other sub-departments and back up again by having each sub-department create its own plan.

IV. Build trust and a culture of continuous improvement by keeping our people informed, involved and inspired through communication, cooperation and collaboration.
