Neyer Holdings’ Values
Our associates, partners and clients elect to work with
Neyer Holdings confident that we follow through and deliver
on our word. We approach each opportunity with the
highest degree of integrity and diligence, inspiring dreams
and plans that are bold and realistic. With that
core framework, we work to consistently exceed the expectations
of our many stakeholders.
These shared values are the driving force behind each associate’s
decision to become a part of the Neyer Holdings team -- and
are the very foundation of Neyer Holdings Corporation itself. We
are purposeful and reflective in our aspirations and instruct
our professional and personal actions by the following values:
We
are honest.
We strive to proactively examine the dreams, plans and expectations
of those with whom we work, and understand if they match
our ability to achieve those ends. We maintain our
principles, are honest with our partners, clients, ourselves
and each other, and apply or convey that honesty in ways
that create growth, goodwill, and capacity.

We
are intense.
“Work hard, play hard” is directionally correct,
but too narrow, almost crassly so. This life is not
a dress rehearsal, and so we are present to this moment and
drawn to live it richly. This applies to our work,
our interest in the world, and our aspiration as a group
of friends and of family companies.

We
are balanced.
While we are intense, this does not mean being unhealthy
or obsessive. We have families, friends, organizations,
hobbies and curiosities that keep us attuned and grounded
even as we seek to soar. As it happens, this balance
makes us even better at the office. We owe it to our
colleagues and ourselves to be complete – professionally
and personally.

We
are extraordinary.
Everyone at Neyer Holdings Corporation has a conviction that
we can do something meaningful here. Our desire to
be a part of it has led us to take some sort of personal
risk to do so. For different people and in different
ways there is a financial component to that risk, but the
greater force of that risk is the opportunity cost to be
here. We have a finite amount of time, and we are choosing
to spend ours here because we want to do great things, have
great fun, and enjoy the realities we make of dreams. This
is a place where people seeking to do regular things may
find a curious fascination, but neither a place nor a business
formula that works for them.

We
help others be their best.
Most of our clients and partners sense that they will “fit” with
us. That means (importantly) that they are inclined
to like us, but more significantly they feel that they can
get more from – and more for – themselves as
a result of their affiliation. This suggests that our
ideal client or partner has a certain self-awareness, and
measures profit not merely in terms of immediate cash. By
the way, the people we work with think it’s a whole
lot more fun to live this way too….

We
discern and grow strengths.
We each have unique and relevant strengths. To the
extent that we help each other understand those qualities,
and align ourselves to optimize them, we offer a unique opportunity
for our partners and clients to thrive. Collectively, we
provide the necessary diversity of thought, style and background
to build each other, and our partners, into a group of uniquely
capable and valuable enterprises.

We
innovate beyond vulnerabilities.
“There are no problems, only opportunities.” We
think this new-age saw is rubbish, and failure to recognize
it as folly will lead to disaster, quickly. The willingness
to see, address and get beyond vulnerabilities, and the dangers
they impart, will end up saving more time and work than it
consumes. We are creative in dealing with them, and
do so candidly and definitively so we can get back to giving
energy to the more important and gratifying task of creating
opportunity.

We
are joyful.
While happiness is certainly a fine state, “joyful” is
an active presence and view of the world that affects everything
we do. This has a particularly spiritual component
to some, but it has a very practical dimension as well. In
every day, and in most every circumstance, there could be
some source of discontent. We make a choice to not
look for that discontent, and if it happens to show itself,
to not give it our power. We realize how fortunate we truly
are, and are grateful for and derive energy from the opportunity
to do great things for our partners and clients.
Back to top
We
give back.
We invest in our communities just as we invest in our businesses – in
ways that are consistent with our vision and aligned with
our strengths. The funds that we donate are targeted
largely at organizations and initiatives that create capacity
in individuals and communities. We also give generously
of our time and seek and support durable, thoughtful strategies
in our giving.
Back to top
We
care.
What we choose to do, the people with whom we choose to do
it, and ultimately the positive difference resulting from
those choices is a big part of our enduring contribution
to posterity. Every day, and particularly at the conclusion
of those days, we want to say not merely that the world is
no worse for our being here; it is indeed better – because
we cared to make it so.
