Always Learning from Our Successes and Failures

By Beth Beddow
Former, Internal Communications Specialist, GOJO Industries
“Everything I know, I learned from someone else” is a quote from our co-founder Jerry Lippman that has become famous around our 75-year-old Family Enterprise, and that’s for good reason. Jerry valued learning as a basic right of every person, and, though he was not afforded the opportunity for formal education beyond the 10th grade, he was an ardent lifelong learner and believed in the power of both schooling and learning on the job. Today, we honor Jerry’s passion for learning by embracing Always Learning as one of our GOJO Values. Always Learning happens through formal learning, learning from the work we do every day, and reflecting on both our successes and failures.
