Subsequently, MiMedx earned a place on Fortune Magazine’s 2017 list of the 100 Fastest-Growing Companies.

Fortune’s list of the Fastest-Growing Companies recognizes domestic and foreign companies that outperform others in revenue and earnings per share (EPS) growth rates and increased annualized total returns over the course of a three-year period. The magazine’s ranking process evaluates only those companies that meet or exceed specific benchmarks in these areas, in addition to fulfilling a series of preliminary qualifications. The criteria include participation in a major US Stock Exchange, continuous trading activity, and minimum figures for revenue, net income, stock price, and market capitalization.

For its 2017 list of the Fastest-Growing Companies, Fortune restricted consideration to enterprises that posted EPS and revenue annualized growth rates of 15 percent or higher over the course of a three-year timeframe that ended on April 30, 2017. Moreover, it set revenue and net income thresholds at no less than $50 million and $10 million, respectively, for the four quarters that concluded on or prior to that date.

MiMedx secured the fifth spot on the top 100 list with a three-year annualized total return rate of 28 percent. Additionally, it ranked seventh for three-year annual growth rate (AGR) in revenue and 10th for three-year AGR in EPS with 58 percent and 88 percent, respectively. In a statement at the time, the company’s CEO and chairman described the achievement as a tribute to its employees’ work and its products’ healing capabilities.

Differences between Personality Traits and Personality Types

Kevin Lilly holds a master of business administration in international management from the American Graduate School of International Management. A former senior vice president at MiMedx in Marietta, Georgia, Kevin Lilly supervised the recruitment and retention of the sales department's top talent. He is interested in topics such as personality profiling.

Although personality traits and personality types are often assumed to be the same, they are not the same thing. While personality traits are distinguished behavior patterns, a personality type is a collection of various personality traits. Put more simply, personality traits make up the personality type.

Personality types are a more holistic description of people's behaviors, while personality traits are more specific descriptions. To better appreciate the difference between the two, personality types could be seen as the climate, while personality traits are the specific weather elements. Personality types can only be evaluated over a long time, while personality traits can be observed within a short time.

Although there are many theories about personality types and traits, there is a consensus on the characteristics that describe people's personalities. Some of these traits are agreeableness, openness, and introversion or extroversion. It is the combination of these traits that result in personality types such as sanguine, melancholic, or phlegmatic.

According to Myer Briggs theory, it is possible for individuals to predominantly exhibit a particular personality type and still display signs of other personality types. It is equally important for individuals to know that while certain personality types are better suited to certain tasks, none is superior to the other.
