Driven by success: Lessons learned in Joplin contribute to O'Reilly Automotive
In his Joplin address, O’Reilly will discuss some of the factors contributing to the company’s success, such as:
n “The most important element my dad and granddad taught me is there is no substitute for hard work. ... The luckiest, most successful people are hard-working.”
n Find something you enjoy that has growth potential. “And a good potential for your hard work to pay off.”
n A good compensation program helps retain employees. O’Reilly said that when the company went public in 1993, it created a stock purchase program so that those team members could enjoy the benefits of their hard work.
Andy Ostmeyer is the metro editor for The Joplin Globe.
