Leadership philosophy

Mark House isn't afraid to unveil one of the secrets to his success. That's why he frequently presents and openly shares his leadership philosophy.

House's philosophy is a one-page document that outlines his beliefs, work style and expectations for employees. The managing director of the Florida division of the Beck Group sits down with every new hire to go over the document before he or she starts work.

Based in Dallas, Beck has three U.S. divisions and one Mexico division. The Florida branch accounts for more than 25% of the company's annual volume and profit, according to House.
