What is the “Dana Style of Management?
The “Dana Style” is defined this way: “Dana people are our most important asset. Dana’s growth is dependent on People Finding a Better Way to improve continuously through concentration on idea generation (minimum of two ideas per person per month, 80% implemented), education (minimum of 40 hours per person per year), and cooperation among Dana people globally.” More than 60 years ago, Charles A. Dana said, “There is only one thing really worthwhile about an organization, and that is its men and women.” The belief that Dana’s people are its greatest asset is the cornerstone of the Dana Style. Ongoing education, employee empowerment and innovation, promotion from within — at Dana, these aren’t goals or concepts. They are realities.
