How Gordon Flesch Company Keeps Focused On The Future

Sixty years seems like an eternity in the world of providing office technology. What has helped your company evolve over that time?

First of all, we've had a good succession plan. We're working on the third generation. If you don’t have succession planning, you don’t have somebody to turn [over] the business to.
