TEI Values

Principle, Respect, and Hard Work

Principle

"A man without principles is like a ship without a compass; it changes direction with every change of the wind." ~ Samuel Smiles

"You don't always get to choose the hill you die on. Sometimes it's chosen for you." ~ Steven Crowder

TEI considers principle to be far greater than pragmatism. If we can't give it our best, we won't do it. If we do it, expect greatness.

Respect

"We should live, act, and say nothing to the injury of anyone. It is not only best as a matter of principle, but it is the path to peace and honor. A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others. It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it. " ~ General Robert E. Lee

Respect is paramount in any industry, especially those that work at heights. Not everyone is worth a high level of respect, but we conduct ourselves as, surround ourselves with, and do business with those that are. All Talley Endeavors are taken on with a great deal of respect so that we may receive respect and future business in return.

Hard Work

"Be not simply good; be good for something." ~ Henry David Thoreau

Insofar as our valued principles and respect are able to be fulfilled in conducting business, whatever business we do will be to the best of our ability. We keep our noses clean and constantly look to get our hands dirty.

Look forward to our future Endeavors.
