It's easy to shortcut when you get busy explaining the why's of the world, but it's very important to try.

The office environment that people work in everyday dictates the culture that you are going to be in.

Transparency people talk a lot about, it's a goal everybody ascribes to but when push comes to shove, very few people actually adhere to it.

If people start going to a desk, some one individual employees desk and they don't report to them... it's a sign that they believe that person can help them. So if you see that consistently, those are your barrels. Just promote them, give them more opportunity as fast as you can.

You generally know when someone asks you to do something- am I more writing, or am I more editing? The editor is the best metaphor for your job.

I walk into a company office and I can tell often whether I'm gonna invest, as soon as I walk in.

As the company scales, everybody is not going to get invited to every single meeting, but they're gonna want to go to every meeting.
