THE
5 STAR
MISSION

The
IKF Is About
TEAMWORK!
"Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a
common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishment toward
organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain
uncommon results. When a team of dedicated individuals makes a commitment to act
as one...the sky's the limit. Coming together is a beginning... keeping together
is progress... working together is a success. Never doubt that a small group of
thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing
that ever has. The challenge for every organization is to build a feeling of
oneness, of dependence on one another...because the question is usually not how
well each person works, but how well they work together. When we stand tall in
defense of our principles, the tides of adversity eventually subside. Strength
is derived from unity. The range of our collective vision is far greater when
individual insights become one. Which all Comes Down
to... Teamwork means that we share a common ideal and embrace a
common goal. Regardless of our differences, we strive shoulder to shoulder,
confident in one another's faith, trust and commitment. In the end, teamwork can
be summed up in five short words...
"We
believe in each other."
The
IKF Was Built By
PERSISTENCE!
He failed in business in '31. He was defeated for state
legislator in '32. He tried another business in '33. It failed. His fiancee died
in '35. He had a nervous breakdown in '36. In '43 he ran for congress and was
defeated. He tried again in '48 and was defeated again. He tried running for the
Senate in '55. He lost The next year he ran for Vice President and lost. In '59
he ran for the Senate again and was defeated. In 1860, the man who signed his
name A. Lincoln, was elected the 16th President of the United States... The
difference between history's boldest accomplishments, and its most staggering
failures is often, simply, the diligent will to persevere. The power to shape
the future is earned through persistence. No other quality is as essential to
success. It is the sandpaper that breaks down all resistance and sweeps away all
obstacles. It is the ability to move mountains one grain of sand at a time.
Which all Comes Down to...
In the
confrontation between the stream and the rock,
the stream always wins...not
through strength, but through Persistence."
The
IKF Believes In
CUSTOMER
CARE!
"The growth of any
organization is nurtured one customer at a time. It takes months to find a
customer...and seconds to lose one. The sea of change can pull customers in many
directions. It is our responsibility to light the way and take care of them...
before the competition does. Always give people more than they expect to get.
The foundation of any great company is rooted in service. It is the nurturing
force which fuels all growth.
Which all Comes
Down to...
If we don't take care of the customer...somebody else will."
The
IKF Welcomes Good
COMPETITION!
"Every morning in Africa, a
gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will
be killed...every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest
gazelle or it will starve to death.
Which all
Comes Down to...
On the road to success, you can be sure of one
thing...
there is never a crowd on the extra mile.
The
IKF Believes In
CHANGE!
"The
best way to predict the future...is to create it. An organization that is
committed to creative collaboration will ride the wave of the future. They will
go beyond the realm of assumptive thinking and welcome the dawn of
innovation...because there is nothing more empowering than an idea whose time
has come. Without change there can be no breakthroughs. Without breakthroughs
there can be no future. Everything that can be invented already has been. This
statement was released in 1899 by the U.S. Patent Office. If these 'experts' ran
the world we would still be sitting in the dark. It is our responsibility to
shatter outdated thinking and explore the realm of the untested; it is here that
breakthrough opportunities are waiting to be discovered.
Which all Comes Down to...
If you're not riding the wave of change... you'll
find yourself beneath it.
The
IKF Believes In
RISK!
"A ship in the harbor is
safe...but that's not what ships were made for. The sea is dangerous and its
storms terrible, but these obstacles have never been sufficient reason to remain
ashore... unlike the mediocre, intrepid spirits seek victory over those things
that seem impossible... it is with an iron will that they embark on the most
daring of all endeavors... to meet the shadowy future without fear and conquer
the unknown. What we can easily see is only a small percentage of what is
possible. Imagination is having the vision to see what is just below the
surface; to picture that which is essential, but invisible to the eye.
Which all Comes Down to...
Do
not follow where the path may lead...
go instead where there is no path
and leave a trail!"

"True
leaders act with courage, stand tall in the face of adversity and go where few
have gone before...because they know that example is the greatest school of
humanity." The Nature of Leadership: "You will find true success in those efforts that captivate your heart and soul. Belief fuels passion, and passion rarely fails." "True leaders are not those who strive to be first but those who are first to strive and who give their all for the success of the team. True leaders are first to see the need, envision the plan, and empower the team for action. By the strength of the leader's commitment, the power of the team is unleashed." "Those who are victorious plan effectively and change decisively. They are like a great river that maintains its course but adjusts its flow...they have form but are formless. They are skilled in both planning and adapting and need not fear the result of a thousand battles; for they win in advance, defeating those that have already lost. " Sun Tzu, Chinese Warrior "Those who preserve their integrity remain unshaken by the storms of daily life. They do not stir like leaves on a tree or follow the herd where it runs. In their mind remains the ideal attitude and conduct of living. This is not something given to them by others. It is their roots...It is a strength that exists deep within them." Anonymous Native American "A Leader stands out by the nature of their commitment, and the integrity of their character." |
