Philosophy
By design and by tradition, Soave Enterprises is receptive, accessible and able to react quickly. Few layers of decision-making exist within our structure. We begin with a focus on what can be done to become more successful, not on how to maintain the status quo. Consequently, we are prepared for and are comfortable with long range planning horizons, in contrast to the quarter-by-quarter success meter so prevalent in many companies.
Soave managers are encouraged to take intelligent risks. We are not averse to entering new ventures, approaching each opportunity on a case-by-case basis and assessing risk tolerance with anticipated reward. Reliance on management with industry expertise and retention of the talent in acquired companies are points of distinction in our growth strategy. Great people with extraordinary ideas relate well to our way of planning and allocating capital: "What do you need from us to grow and improve your business?"
Some might mistakenly equate our rustbelt origins as a handicap. On the contrary, our first-hand experiences enable our management to be knowledgeable both in the boiler room and in the boardroom. Some of our peers might be larger or more visible on Wall Street's radar screen, but few possess our skill set, our trust in one another, and our vision in looking beyond the balance sheet for the right individuals and the right deals.
