Like the letters S-N-I.
What does Esenai mean?
Marvin Corea: Back in 2001, when I really started thinking about starting a consulting company, my wife and I started coming up with names. My wife came up with "Solutions and Innovations." I liked it but I thought that it was too long so I took the letters S (for "Solutions"), N (for "and") and I (for "Innovations") and created a word out of it: "Esenai" (I don't know if Esenai has another meaning, but if anyone knows of another meaning in another language, feel free to let us know.)

More on Esenai's Philosophy from the President, Marvin Corea
I have read a few business books that I have really enjoyed and I fully subscribe to. They include:
- Winning by Jack Welch - Excellent book which covers practically all aspects of business. I especially like the chapter on hiring (Chapter 6). He describes the three acid tests which should be "conducted" when you are beginning the candidate recruitment process. The acid tests are tests for integrity, intelligence and maturity. Jack goes on to talk about the 4-E (energy, ability to energize others, edge (the courage to make tough decisions), and execute (the ability to get the job done)) and 1-P (passion) framework for hiring which is the model I'm trying to use for hiring.
- Another chapter that I enjoyed was Chapter 2, The Biggest Dirty Little Secret in Business. And what is the secret? Candor. If people and organizations were candid there wouldn't be as much trouble in the business world as there has been in the last years. This is exactly why candor is an integral part of Esenai's culture.
- Built to Last by Jim Collins, Jerry Porras - more to follow
- Good to Great by Jim Collins - From the very beginning of the book, I felt that the principles (or idea sets as Jim describes then on his website) that Jim describes were ones that I wanted to use as I try to grow the company. The idea sets are Level 5 Leadership, First Who Then What, Confront the Brutal Facts, Hedgehog Concept and Building you Company's Vision. Right now I am working on the First Who Then What portion of the implementation. I want to bring great people on board that believe in the company, its philosophy and in themselves. more to follow...
- Sam Walton: Made in America by Sam Walton and John Huey - I completely agree with the Sam's rules for running a business. Here's the list of rules:
- Rule 1 - Commit to your business.
- Rule 2 - Share your profits with all of your Associates, and treat them as partners.
- Rule 3 - Motivate your partners.
- Rule 4 - Communicate everything you possibly can to your partners.
- Rule 5 - Appreciate everything your Associates do for the business.
- Rule 6 - Celebrate your successes.
- Rule 7 - Listen to everyone in your company.
- Rule 8 - Exceed your customers' expectations.
- Rule 9 - Control your expenses better than your competition.
- Rule 10 - Swim upstream.
