The Lundy Group Personnel

Early in its existence Lundy instituted a system of goals and management by goal achievement. Consistent with this management philosophy is constant support of individuals within the organization working towards overall success.  The team approach to success is evident in the organization by the horizontal nature of the organization.  An example would be that Lundy has chosen not to assign titles or to carry titles on business cards so that any individual would feel comfortable supporting and assisting any other individual.  The team support has allowed Lundy to capitalize on synergy within the company.
