Our Leadership Philosophy

“Leadership from the bottom up” may seem to be an unusual organizational structure. Yet at MMI, it reveals a management philosophy proven by well over half a century of success and growth.

First, the MMI organizational chart is an inverted pyramid. This ensures that those whose everyday job is guest/customer interaction and service are, in turn, supported by the others below them, in sequence. And secondly, this ensures that at every facility, in every department, in every job, MMI team members have buy-in and authorship in all corporate plans and goals.
