Like Antioch, the Holes Webway Company grew and prospered through the decades.
Unlike Antioch, the second generation of leadership at Holes Webway failed to
continue the vision of its founder. By the late 1970's, the company's strategy
was adrift and desparately needed a change. Cheryl Lightle, a longtime Antioch
employee, was sent to Minnesota to oversee the transition. The name was changed
to Webway Incorporated. Management structure was flattened and employees were
given freedom to contribute ideas and participate. Webway, like Antioch, became
employee-owned. At Webway, Antioch found a workforce similar to its own: dedicated,
skilled, many with decades of experience. They returned to what Webway did best:
their album lines were re-engineered, repackaged and marketed to meet the demand
for durable, attractive long-term photo storage. |
