Once upon a time...
Five misfits from ManTech decided ManTech was doing it wrong and ventured out to plot a different course. Two of the misfits, Dan Hall and Mike Viscuso, were tired of being told they weren’t allowed to reward and care for their employees, as that would be too expensive. Bonuses went to the executive compensation plans, rewarding people that had performed years ago, but not within the last year. To make matters worse, there was an utter lack of research dollars. Their innovative group had many ideas, but lacked the money needed to truly accelerate. Something had to change. They believed that if they were capable of solving tough problems for clients, contract funding would take care of itself, creating money for research in the process. They were taking a risk, but they knew they weren’t wrong.
