Uncontainable
Kip Tindell is the CEO of The Container Store. The Container Store is a publicly owned retail chain. Many publicly owned companies focus first on the shareholder and are often short-term profit focused. The Container Store has a different philosophy. They invest highly in employees first who then drive customer satisfaction which in turn improves the shareholders return. NRL believes that companies must invest strongly in the employee through development, engagement, and empowerment. These employees will then own the work and bring their best to the team each day. While cost focus may drive short term upward results, only by following the principles in Uncontainable, which also align with NRL, will a company be successful longer term.
