There are no reserved parking spaces for executives. Everyone uses the same bathrooms and the same water fountains. Everyone is an equal. Maybe that s why TD Industries was listed last year by Fortune magazine as one of the Top 100 Best Companies. They need less supervision, which frees management for other tasks.
Employees are more capable of taking care of customers, which builds stronger customer loyalty.

His personal example had a major impact on the entire company.
