Willmar Electric started it's new fiscal year on April 1, 2012. After a tough year it is great to get a fresh start on things. In addition to getting a new start we kicked off the year with three exciting events.
The first was the retirement of my father, John. With the retirement of our long time leader we reach a point in which those of us that remain must fill in the holes left in Dad absence. So far it seems like although people miss Dad everybody is energetically filling in and moving forward. It has been fun to be apart of. If you have ever moved accross county or left an organization you can understand what I am trying to put into words.
The second was in large increase in backlog. In the last 2 weeks we have double our backlog. The good news is we doubled our backlog. The bad news is that it was too easy to do.
The third was we have an operations retreat that included our Central and Southern Region's leadership as well as our entire Crew Leader class. It was very energizing to spend time with the leaders of the company and pick their brains. It seems we have a lot of great leaders coming up through the ranks here at Willmar Electric.
I am very excited about 2012.
