Message From CEO
Many of you have heard me say - "I have a very large windshield and a very small rear view mirror. If I like what's in the past, I'll bring it along for the ride. If not, I leave it in the road." Easier said than done - I know. But as we embark upon another New Year, it's wisdom worth remembering.
The challenges we've all faced in the aftermath of 2008 have been significant, notwithstanding the fact that our company has been very fortunate to withstand adversity. 2011 was yet another year of economic hardship for many within the entertainment industry and real estate community...; and yet it was also a year in which valuable lessons were learned.
Perhaps the biggest lesson of all is that the cycles and predictors of the past are not reliable factors for predicting the future. Technological advances are now accelerating at an extraordinary pace..., and the globe is getting smaller all the time. The relationship between technology and globalization are game-changers...; and for companies such as ours, and those we serve, the view must be on emerging trends, emerging markets, and new opportunities for doing business.
To be sure, this does not mean that we will abandon our core business, or the fundamental principles upon which our business was built in the past. Rather, it simply means that we are called upon to look further down the road and anticipate what lies ahead.
While others are cursing the rain, let us all continue to be the ones to search for the rainbow. Faith, optimism, and visionary management will all be key ingredients for success in the New Year. May 2012 be a year of good health, good fortune, and a collaboration of talent that never loses sight of the fact that we are all in this together.
