The role of any exceptional facilitator or consultant is to work themselves out of a job.

I would advise any startup to take the time to define their unique culture and work at making it a reality.

When you focus on results, you will very seldom see a change in your culture. But, if you focus on a customer-centric culture, you will realize long-term results.

Productivity starts with doing the right things.

The best ideas can come from anyone within an organization. Leaders must remember that if they want employees to embrace a new organizational "Dream" or strategy, they need to include them and seek their ideas. Creativity is NOT just for the R&D department.

When you are young, if you can define your long-term dream, - something that you can get passionate about - solidify your values, dare to take a risk and then put a plan together to accomplish that dream... that could be the difference between success and failure in life.

If your values are not used as the constitution of your organization, or if they are compromised, they become just words on paper.
