Why the Rinckie’s Exist
Short answer: because great people deserve recognition.
Longer answer: because this was a goal… and also because it’s fun.
The Rinckies started as a leadership goal and quickly became something better — a way for all of us to raise each other up. It’s not about titles, tenure, or being the loudest in the room. It’s about noticing the moments that matter and celebrating the people who make Rinck what it is.Also, the trophies are gold in color. And people need trophies for their desks. That helps.
