Brand is really the connection between you and your customersif you have a very strong culture, then the brand will come through.

Every day I would wake up and think, 'Today is another missed opportunity to do something important.' After enough days like this, you start feeling like you are getting old, even when you are relatively young. We are all natural entrepreneurs, and being manacled to a desk job is not for us.

In organizations (or even in a society) where culture is weak, you need an abundance of heavy, precise rules and processes.

Having a clear mission and making sure you know that mission and making sure that mission comes through the company is probably the most important thing you can do for both culture and values.
