CARL ALBRIGHT
President and CEO InfoCision

WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY AS IT RELATES TO PEOPLE AND THEIR IMPACT ON YOUR DAILY BUSINESS? Join us at any employee of the month ceremony, and youll hear the same sentiments time and again: I love it here, and I wouldnt want to work anywhere else. These sentiments come from a very simple philosophy InfoCision was founded on over 28 years ago: People make a difference. InfoCisions vision is to be the highest quality direct marketing provider of the 21st century. Commitment to Excellence underscores our uncompromising commitment to quality and integrity.

atmosphere of mutual trust. At every level, we encourage open communication, feedback and discussion. I personally attend our 30-plus call center employee of the month ceremonies, providing a company update and short- and long-term outlooks. During these town hall-style meetings, employees are free to ask any question, and I always give an honest answer. WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT LEADERSHIP LESSONS YOUVE LEARNED? The most important leadership lesson Ive learned didnt come from a book or mentor; it actually came from my son. Both he and his brother play sports and have the potential to be very good athletes. One day I asked my oldest, who is in rst grade, why he thought his friends liked him - fully expecting him to say its because hes good at sports. But instead, he said its because hes nice. When I asked him again, he said its because I let the girls play kickball with us. When I asked him once more, he said its because I roll the ball slowly to my friend who has a hard time kicking the ball. I was really proud of his answers, because just like in business, it comes down to giving the ultimate effortand being humble.
