Employee-Owned Company Builds Trusting Customer Relationships Through Servant Leadership Culture

摘要

In 1946, Jack Lowe St. founded Texas Distributors (TD) as a small air-conditioning supplier in Dallas, which became an employee-owned company in 1952. By 1972, the founder embraced Robert Greenleaf's servant leadership philosophy for management. This concept suggests that one must serve to lead-that growing people and the organization are one and the same. After Jack Sr. passed, his son Jack Lowe Jr. became the company's CEO and oversaw its expansion into the Houston and San Antonio markets. The company became TDIndustries in 1983, focusing on mechanical construction and commercial service.
