Margaret, thank you for coming in and spending a couple hours with us. I have sat through a lot of strategy discussions and this short meeting was one of the better meetings I’ve attended. The case studies of others and how you weaved that into our model was great. I felt like for the first time in a long time we are thinking bigger and are more apt to change based on what our customers are telling us. It was once said that Wayne Gretzky was a great hockey player because he anticipated where the puck was going to be. In my opinion we as a management team need to come to the realization the puck might be further down the ice than we had originally thought. As those before me at Tractor Supply have always said, “What got us here won’t get us to where we want to be”. This is pivotal time in the growth of the company and it is likely time for a step function.
Thanks for stimulating our thinking.
“Excellent presentation. Spoke to some of the existing challenges we face at this time. I am excited to read Margaret’s book.”
