__________________________________________________________________________________ Thieneman Construction
construction have joined the organization to help employees grow, develop leadership skills, and build long-term careers.
This commitment to people extends beyond the business. Thieneman contributes about three percent of pre-tax profits to local causes and regularly mobilizes support when communities need it most. After severe flooding hit Indiana, Ken redirected teams from active projects to help affected areas.“ I told them,‘ Shut four jobs down and get out there. I’ m calling those mayors right now. They need help.’” For Ken, growth should create opportunities far beyond the company itself.
Looking ahead, Thieneman plans to continue expanding through a combination of organic growth, development activity, and acquisitions. The long-term goal: a platform that supports much larger operations across multiple sectors.
Even so, Ken continues to focus on a different measure of progress.“ Our challenge isn’ t finding opportunity; it’ s maintaining the principles to pursue the right opportunities.” For a leader overseeing construction projects, development initiatives, and acquisition plans, the statement serves as both strategy and reminder.“ I don’ t want to focus on the numbers. I want to focus on the people.”
Although the ambition has grown, the underlying idea has not.“ Big outcomes don’ t just happen. They start with a decision, and then they’ re created by thousands of disciplined decisions made by good people over time.” ■
