LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Wallace T. Carter Jr.

Employees tend to perform better when they have the autonomy to innovate without fear of rejection. The last thing anyone wants to hear is, “… that is a good idea but we don’t do it that way here and you should know that since you work here.”                        

 

Conversely, complete autonomy creates fragmented direction with individuals striking out on new initiatives pulling the company’s resources in unprofitable directions.  The Harvard Business Review article “Get more Actionable Ideas from Your Employees”, suggest fostering innovation through pro-actively directing and limiting the search for ideas.  This simple approach allows the employee to focus their energy on areas that need improvement.

 

For example, risk management and safety is a top priority at RAMCON. This area is NOT the place to reduce steps or cut corners to improve the bottom line. Focused parameters insure employees our working on the areas that need improvement.

 

Innovations starts with having the best talent coupled with the right leadership.   Meet one of RAMCON’s newest team member Wallace T. Carter Jr. He began working with RAMCON in October of 2014 as a Service Account Manager. Mr. Carter is a Florida native graduating from Land O’ Lakes High School and attended Pasco-Hernando Community College. By the age of twenty-one Carter was running crews as a foreman/supervisor. As a Reroof Manager, he was responsible for over 110 employees installing approximately 3,500 roofs a year.

 

Carter comes to RAMCON with twenty-four years of Commercial and Residential roofing experience. He chose to work at RAMCON because of its positive reputation and industry experience. He attribute his success in the industry from putting the client first by meeting there budgeting requirements and keeping them informed on services performed throughout the project. 

 

In his off time, he enjoys fishing, boating, scuba diving, motorcycles and most importantly spending time with family.
