Kenan Advantage Group: Doing the Right Things
September 3rd, 2009
I went to a ystark event last night that was hosted by Kenan Advantage Group. They’re a logistics and trucking company that serves the fuel industry (for now).
First of all, what an impressive facility. They purchased the building of an old printing operation and completely gutted and rebuilt it into a very high tech, employee focused operation. As their CEO Dennis Nash pointed out, it’s probably one of their best HR tools, let alone what their clients think.
What really impressed me though was that during Dennis’ comments to the group (he shared a half hour or so worth of thoughts, stories and insights) he focused so much on people. He runs a trucking company that is approximately a billion dollar business; not small! One would think his focus may be on equipment, technology, cash management etc. However, he made the point that being good to people is the key to success. Both internally and externally.
You can see by their growth, their work environment and their impact on the community that he means it.
