What does a Great Metal Fabrication supplier look like?
Character
First of all,  good CNC Machining & Metal Fabrication suppliers must have good character.  That means they do the right thing even when no one is looking.    Character is something that is built over time.  It must be tested. It requires overcoming challenges and doing the right thing because it is the right thing, not because it is being forced upon them.   Character is the foundation of great relationships.  Be sure your relationships are built on a strong foundation.
Evaluated Experience
Some say experience is the best teacher.  That is not true. We all know people who have a lot of experience in the school of hard knocks, but they seem to make the same mistakes over and over again.  Why? Because they have not taken the time and effort to evaluate their experience. To think about their successes and failures, and what caused them.  To make the change or the shift that is required to succeed.  Good leaders take the time to evaluate and learn from their experience.
Great leaders are able to evaluate and learn from the successes and failures of others.  Then they apply those lessons to help their team grow and develop.   They have developed the ability to not only see the big picture, but to see it sooner than others.
