🎉 What does fun mean to us at Cornerstone Defense?
It means stronger teams.
It means better ideas.
It means we actually like coming to work.
These highlights come from our Q2 Company Newsletter — The Fun Edition!
👇 Featuring thoughts from across our leadership team:
✔️ CEO Pat on how fun is necessary for mental health
✔️ Reilly COO on joy in helping others
✔️ Ginny, Marketing Guru on how laughter and fun are contagious
✔️ Darcelle on the fun of witnessing employees’ growth
At Cornerstone, we believe culture isn’t just a buzzword—it’s something you build, live, and enjoy every day. And fun? That’s our not-so-secret sauce.
💬 How do you bring fun into your workday? We’d love to hear it!
📸 Throwback to our old conference room — look closely at the whiteboard in the top right corner. 👀 See it?
“It has to make sense!”
That’s a phrase our COO wrote down one day, one of his favorites, and it just... stuck. For years, it lived on that whiteboard. Over time, it became more than a sticky note of wisdom — it became part of how we work, how we make decisions, and how we collaborate.
Whether it’s a big strategic move or a day-to-day workflow, we’ve learned: clarity matters, alignment matters — and yes, it has to make sense.
🧠💬 We’re curious: What does “it has to make sense” mean to YOU in your work life? When do you use this phrase, or when do you wish others would? Share your take in the comments 👇
