“Each of us is gifted with a Unique Potential that defines a destiny.” --Joe Gauld

Please take a seat with your discovery group.

America: a rebellious nationWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

its own idiosyncrasies…Hyde is no different

Let’s take a look at a few examples from the business world…

Case studyApple GooglePart of corporate culture

is that employees will not hold the door for the person behind them.

Part of the corporate culture is that working past 5 P.M. is frowned upon.

Hyde GreetingEye contact, firm handshake, clear, articulate introduction, beautiful smile, helpful and happy

Leave it Cleaner than you Found ItWe make sure we clean up after ourselves; if we show up somewhere and it’s dirty, we pick up after others; if we see trash, we pick it up

HYDE TIMETo make sure meetings start on time, we arrive five minutes before hand to ensure everyone is ready to go

We are CourteousWe hold doors open, we say please and thank you, we know everyone’s name, we treat everyone with respect. We don’t wear our headphones walking around campus.

LanguageWe use respectful language anywhere and everywhere; we avoid using foul language, cursing, and disrespect.

GUMWe are a gum-free campus – chew at your own risk!!!

SidewalksWe walk on sidewalks and other pathways and we try to avoid cutting across the lawn – we take pride in our campus

Crossing the StreetWe stop, we waive, we smile, we cross quickly
