For Harold Stinnett, HS Trailer Repair is more than just
"business." It's the hopes, dreams and livelihood of the owner, the
owner's family, the employees, and to some extent the community where the
business operates, pays taxes and contributes in meaningful ways. Harold
believes that people are innately good. Without this belief and faith in
people, great owners are not possible.
Harold believes he does not work on his people, he
works with them; he enables and empowers them.
Harold believes that “empowerment”
comes from within, and has more to do with self-motivation and innate
talent than with the acceptance of authority.
Harold believes that all people have strengths which can be
made stronger, and that their weaknesses can be compensated to become
irrelevant.
