While the two words are easy to say consecutively, we are finding they often do not go together in the real-life practical application.

With the exposure we have had to the downfall of corporate giants like Enron, Arthur Andersen, MCI Worldcom and many others now being bailed out by the Feds, it causes me to pause and wonder if it’s possible to succeed with a team of honest, hardworking people unified in an effort to take a product or service to the highest level. 

It seems with each new day we are faced with yet another scandalous indiscretion by either a businessperson or politician who was trying to get ahead (no pun intended).

I was recently introduced to and invited to join an organization which I feel embodies a different kind of mentality than the other mega-giant corporations and I think others should take note. Ambit Energy in Dallas, Texas is a young but vibrant electricity provider currently doing business in just a few states. They direct-sell electricity by way of the recent deregulation that has occurred in Texas, New York, Illinois and some others. 

Here’s the impressive part...the guys at the top such as the CEO, COO, CFO, Senior IT guy, and Chief Marketing Officer, all office out in the open near each other and with no walls, doors or partitions. They went basic on the furniture by choice and maintain a philosophy of frugality that has spread throughout the company. They pay their office support staff a fair wage and their salespeople well, too. The thought of needing to call a board meeting to express ideas, concerns or solutions is merely a waste of time since they can just roll their chairs over to one another and hammer it out.

I was so thoroughly impressed with the company and how responsible they are being with their customer’s money, I thought I would share this model with my readers. It turns out that when you run a business that is not top heavy and based on greed, you tend to not topple over. Ambit is one of the fastest growing companies in US history and only just beginning to walk according to their top brass.
