Stanley Hydraulics Corporation (A)
From my overall point of view, I don’t think that Bob Nehrgardt was crazy. It’s highly appreciable that someone is dedicated to work so enthusiastically and objectively for his company. Bob achieved a huge success in a relatively small time period. In ten years with Dynamic Controls, Bob Nehrgardt raised up the annual sales from $600,000 to $5 million.

Bob Nehrgardt had a brilliant idea of starting his own company and he has a solid plan and intellectual goal for the same. He wanted a have company with no politics so that there can be a full utilization of human energy and intelligence solely in the work. For his new company Stanley Hydraulics Corporation, he spent a full year for the planning and preparing every aspect of the new operation.

He also designed workable and attainable organization rules for his new company. These rules were the guidelines for the employees.
