<https://info.eosworldwide.com/hs-fs/file-3096227817-jpg/blog-files/1-great-more-productive-than-3-300x199.jpg>In an interview with Adam Bryant that appeared in the New York Times, March 14, 2010, Kip Tindell, CEO of the Container Store shared one of his foundation principles, “… that one great person could easily be as productive as three good people. One great is equal to three good. If you really believe that, a lot of things happen. We try to pay 50 to 100 percent above industry average. That’s good for the employee, and that’s good for the customer, but it’s good for the company, too, because you get three times the productivity at only two times the labor cost."

## [Company Mission Statements Key to Success Reports EOS Worldwide®](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/8882/in-the-news/company-mission-statements-key-success-reports-eos-worldwide/)

[Company mission statements](http://eosworldwide.com/8514/eos/nailed-purposepassioncause/) result in a more successful organization, according to [EOS Worldwide®.](http://eosworldwide.com/eos/) The creators of the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®), recently reported that companies who have well-developed mission statements that accurately describe the purpose of the business tend to be more successful and stay in business longer than those who don’t. According to Gino Wickman, EOS Founder, “Defining a company mission statement, or as we call it, a Core Focus™, isn’t always an easy process, but it’s an extremely valuable exercise that helps business owners fully clarify their purpose for the business and gives everyone a central purpose to focus on. A great mission statement also makes it easy for other organizations to gain insight into what you do.”
